LCMC: Visualizing Beyond the Present

By Ms. Teresia Muia

What does it mean to truly prepare for the future of young people in a rapidly changing world? This question took center stage on 22nd April 2026, as the Loyola Centre for Media and Communications (LCMC) brought together about 20 key stakeholders for a dynamic Demo Day experience.

From representatives of the Teachers Service Commission to the National Police Service and other key partners, the room reflected a shared urgency on how to responsibly guide Gen Z in the workplace and Gen Alpha in an increasingly digital society. 

Rather than simply discussing the challenge, LCMC demonstrated practical solutions. 

Through its core program areas; Children, Media and Identity Formation; Management Communication and AI and Digital Literacy, the LCMC team showcased how institutions can be equipped to nurture responsible, self-aware, and digitally competent young people. 

The Demo Day was not just a presentation, but a clear signal of readiness. LCMC affirmed its role as a forward-looking partner, committed to empowering those who directly shape the lives of children, teenagers, and young people. 

Dr. Elias Mokua, SJ, Executive Director of LCMC, shares insights on leading in complex environments and navigating the digital landscape in the workplace, especially in guiding young people.

In doing so exercise, the Centre brought its motto to life; “Visualizing beyond the present,” not as an idea, but as a call to action for institutions to move from awareness to preparedness.
