MUSIC EXCHANGE PROGRAM IN UPPER HUNZA
Nasir Khusrow Academy, nestled in the heart of Ghulkin, Upper Hunza, stands as a beacon of education for the local community. Committed to providing quality primary education, the academy has become a focal point for positive community engagement. A Different Agenda, in its ongoing commitment to social impact, introduced a music exchange program at the academy in 2022. The first phase involved equipping the school with musical instruments, laying the foundation for a musical journey. The program's second stage aims to bring music expertise from various cities and parts of the world to conduct 10-day workshops for the children, fostering creativity and skill development. This initiative is made possible by the contributions of our guests who, during their tours in the region, express a shared commitment to community development and cultural enrichment.

KORGAH WEAVING CENTER GULMIT
Korgah, the women-run Carpet Weaving Center in Gulmit, Gojal-Upper Hunza, was established in 2005 by 18 women artisans. As part of the Karakoram Area Development Organization (KADO) initiative, Korgah showcases the traditional art of carpet weaving, using locally sourced materials like yak hair or wool. Housed in a traditional mud house, the center not only offers a glimpse into the intricate process of carpet making but also immerses visitors in the cultural heritage of Hunza. The carpets, featuring designs inspired by traditional Hunza embroidery patterns, are known for their quality craftsmanship using vegetable dyes and premium wool. A visit to Korgah provides a unique opportunity to witness the convergence of tradition and craftsmanship in the heart of Hunza.
