Blas schools programme creates Kenyan and Highland exchange of culture http://www.highland.gov.uk/yourcouncil/news/newsreleases/2011/September/2011-09-06-01.htm

Pupils at a Highland primary school will take part in a cultural exchange of music and dance this week (Friday 9 September) when a troupe of Kenyan Maasai Warriors visit Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Inbhir Nis. Organised as part of the Blas schools 2011 programme, the visiting troupe called the Osiligi Maasai Warriors regularly visit the UK in an effort to raise funds for their families and for improvements to their home village.

The Blas education programme assists schools and teachers in achieving the experiences and outcomes required for the expressive arts and Gaelic areas of the Curriculum for Excellence by providing opportunities for pupils to deepen their understanding of culture in Scotland and the wider world.
