KUALA LUMPUR, July 11 (Bernama) — Bridge International Academies is drawing attention to the urgency of educating African girls this World Population Day (July 11), the first time Sub-Saharan Africa will have the largest population of children on the planet.

According to a statement, this World Population Day focuses on the theme of ‘gender equality and women’s empowerment as a key factor in reducing poverty’.

Bridge Group Managing Director, Reuben Wambugu said by 2050, Africa and Asia will be home to 85 per cent of the world’s young people, with the larger proportion in Africa and currently, only 10 per cent of children in sub-Saharan Africa are able to read a simple sentence by the age of 10.

“If these young people are not provided with an adequate education, there will be a global shortage of scientists, doctors and engineers. This could lead to a range of possible global catastrophes.

“While Bridge has seen fantastic improvements in learning outcomes for all those attending our schools, it is particularly heartening that Bridge’s methodology has succeeded in achieving gender parity in the classroom,” he said.

Meanwhile, Bridge Nigeria Managing Director Foyinsola Akinjayeju said: “Bridge’s model focuses on arming teachers with scientifically proven techniques to elevate the learning of girls.

“Through approaches, such as gender sensitive instruction in lesson and textbook materials, expecting equal participation through ‘cold calling’ of boys and girls in the classroom and the use of female school leaders as role models, girls are empowered to succeed.

“By pushing this approach and the importance of women’s empowerment, Bridge Nigeria alone has provided a life-changing education to tens of thousands of girls in underserved communities, helping them complete primary school, do well in secondary school and open up opportunities offering prosperity and success.”

The schools network, which includes Bridge Kenya, Bridge Nigeria and Bridge Uganda, supports children and parents in underserved communities by providing an excellent education.

INVNT.ATOM collaborated with the legendary automotive brand to launch two successful Web3 campaigns across 12 months, invigorating the iconic brand’s leadership in innovation, art and design.

Singapore, June 30 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Across 2022 and 2023, INVNT.ATOM™, [INVNT GROUP]™’s digital and Web3 Innovation division delivered two historic NFT campaigns in collaboration with Automobili Lamborghini, as the legacy super sportscar leader celebrated their 60th anniversary and entered its hybrid era. 

With global features in media outlets such as Forbes, Fast Company, Be in Crypto, and an announcement from Lamborghini’s CEO Steve Winkelmann that Lamborghini’s sports cars are sold out until 2024, [INVNT GROUP] has concluded two back to back campaigns in partnership with Automobili Lamborghini. 

‘Lamborghini Ultimate’ a world first 1:1 NFT & The Last Aventador Coupé in collaboration with contemporary artist Krista Kim and Grammy award winning artist Steve Aoki, and most recently “The Epic Road Trip”, an 8-month Web3 initiative with utilities which cultivated a community of global Web3 loyalists around the world. The conclusion of “The Epic Road Trip” marked the brand’s 60th anniversary where the Italian marque revealed the “Revuelto”, the brand’s first dual-powertrain supercar – continuing their commitment to a more sustainable future.

Lamborghini was the first super sports car  brand to enter the world of digital collectibles, with their release of digital bitstamps in 2020. In partnership with [INVNT GROUP], two major Web3 initiatives have followed suit, cultivating a new community of a younger tech audience, and established loyalists to mark the hybrid era, as the brand races towards complete electrification by 2030. 

[INVNT GROUP] partnered with Steve Aoki and Krista Kim to create an audiovisual collaboration which saw the creation of the world’s first 1:1 NFT supercar, auctioning off the physical version of the last ever Aventador Coupe with auction house RM Sotheby’s. The NFT paired with the physical sports car sold at an auction price of $1.6M, placing the purchase price in the top 10 new Lamborghinis ever sold.

On the back of the global success and impact of“Lamborghini Ultimate” Lamborghini continued their partnership with [INVNT GROUP] with the launch of “The Epic Road Trip”. This 8-month long campaign showcased monthly prizes and NFT reveals, concluding in a global celebration of the brand’s 60th anniversary and the ultimate reveal of the Revuelto. The consequential results of “The Epic Road Trip ” showcased a nod to the brand’s transformation, with 10.5x campaign ROI. Collectively, both campaigns have garnered 1.8 billion global editorial media impressions, across 2.4K featured editorial placements, totalling over $17.3M USD of advertising value. 

“These results demonstrate how incredibly powerful leveraging Web3 is in any modern marketing strategy,” says Scott Cullather,  President & CEO of [INVNT GROUP], and CEO of INVNT.ATOM, “These are highly engaged, hands-on collectors with a passion for the Lamborghini brand. By focusing on a curated group of brand loyalists, Lamborghini was able to both deepen its connection with its biggest fans while also welcoming new people to be a part of its timeless heritage and future. As an ultra-luxury brand that sold just 9,233 vehicles in 2022, every boost in purchase intent is worth millions.”

“Lamborghini is an aspirational brand, and Web3 is a bridge to people that are dreaming Lamborghini, but also for people that are not familiar with the brand and more familiar with art, design and NFTs. It’s an example of how art and design are connected to our brand. And the good thing is that with the NFTs we’re able to make sure that this dream is also in the reach for the fan,” said Christian Maestro, Marketing Director of Automobili Lamborghini, in Carly Reilly’s Overpriced JPEGS Podcast Series with Scott Cullather. 

As the brand continues its journey towards complete hybridization of its lineup by 2025, expect further experimentation at the leading edge of community, blockchain and utility. 

Driven by [INVNT GROUP]’s “Challenge Everything” mantra backed by world-class storytelling, both campaigns immersed the legacy brand into the world of Web3, whilst also adopting elements of the physical world into the journey. The phygital experiences, told a tale of brand transformation, as Lamborghini fans are given brand new avenues to engage with the legacy brand into the future.
