I am because we are.
It is the core of the definition of Ubuntu, and we at the DBDLI are immensely pleased to bring this initiative to you today.
We are stronger when we stand together, and we are wisest when we share our knowledge with each other. Welcome to The Ubuntu Educational Experience!
Explore each individual cultural centre and enjoy the knowledge that we proudly present on behalf of all of African Nova Scotia’s rich cultural heritage. As you delve into each educational institute that we’ve captured for you, it is our privilege and humble responsibility to bring you all of the information that we can. Read about each museum and wander its halls in a VR-enabled space (with or without your own virtual reality headset). Take the time to absorb each informative comment within, provided as custom notes by each centre’s Curator or Executive Director, and offered to you as a guided tour through its artifacts and relics. Enjoy these pieces of Nova Scotia’s storied cultural heritage.
We are overjoyed to bring these experiences – and this important historical knowledge – to you today.
What is Project Ubuntu?
In 2025, the Delmore “Buddy” Daye Learning Institute began this project in an effort to make Nova Scotia’s Black History (past and present) more accessible to all. It’s not fair that our province’s learners (be they students or teachers or folks with healthy curiosity) be unable to visit our Cultural Learning Centres just because they might be far away. Project Ubuntu exists to bridge the geographic gap, opening up every door for every Nova Scotian.
We’re accomplishing this feat by presenting a collection of Cultural Centres, Community Centres, and museums. We’ve captured their halls & walls in a free online application called Matterport, and all that you have to do is explore. Simply launch any of our self-guided tours by clicking/tapping one of the thumbnails below (and on that particular site’s webpage), and start experiencing some of Nova Scotia’s amazing black cultural sites.
