Why We Gathered
Celebrating a talent worth nurturing
The Murayas (Father & Son) Musical Talent Upscaling gathering was created to recognise and strengthen a musical journey shaped by resilience, perseverance and faith. It brought people together around a simple idea: talent grows when it is seen, encouraged and given practical room to develop.
The event also rallied practical support toward music equipment for the Murayas, while creating a wider platform for 360 Climate Institutes learners to demonstrate their own skills and progress.
The Day Takes Shape
Faith, preparation and a shared sense of purpose
Before the showcases and performances, the day came together through people — setting up, welcoming one another and creating the atmosphere for what followed.
Faith & Community
Beginning together
The gathering opens with a church moment led by Venerable Archdeacon Benard, grounding the day in faith, community and shared purpose.
Music & Atmosphere
DJM3 on the decks
360 Climate Institutes’ own DJM3 brings music and energy to the programme as learners, guests and community members settle into the celebration.
Leadership Voice
A word from Chairlady Hannah Muriithi
360 Climate Institutes Chairlady Hannah Muriithi addresses the gathering, connecting the celebration to the Institute’s wider commitment to nurturing potential, building skills and opening practical pathways for learners and young people.
Skills Beyond the Stage
Learners show what practical training looks like
The celebration also became a platform for students to demonstrate what they had been building through hands-on learning — from design and presentation to technical skill.
Tailoring designs meet the community
Tailoring students present their designs to the community, turning classroom practice into a public showcase of creativity, skill and confidence.
Fashion in motion
Students take their work into a fashion presentation, demonstrating how practical training can grow into expression, enterprise and opportunity.
Practical plumbing skills
Plumbing students demonstrate hands-on technical skills, showing another side of the learning and confidence being built at 360 Climate Institutes.
Alumni Voice
Experience shared back into the community
Paul takes the microphone during the alumni presentation, adding another voice to a day that connected current learners with people already carrying their 360 experience forward.
The Murayas
A musical journey given room to grow
At the heart of the gathering were the Murayas — father and son — and a musical journey that became a story of resilience, perseverance and faith. The event recognised their talent while surrounding it with community, mentorship and practical support.

Community & Celebration
Learning, fellowship and joy shared together
The event moved naturally from presentations into food, music, conversation and celebration — a community moment rather than a formal programme alone.
Food and fellowship
A shared meal creates room for conversation and connection among learners, guests and the wider community.

From Learning to Recognition
