Our Objectives

“The main objective of the Company is to run peer education programmes, training and workshops to build confidence, capacity, creativity, life- and leadership skills for youth in rural and less advantaged communities through the use of performing arts namely drama, dance and music, as well as creating safe spaces and facilitating constructive and creative dialogue amongst the youth.

The focus on life-skills topics is amongst others: sexual and reproductive health and rights, gender-based violence, peer pressure, HIV/AIDS, TB, addressing issues of racism, sexism and xenophobia, as well as environmental education including climate change. The company will use performing arts, promoting indigenous culture and heritage to bring the topics above alive and ensure the youth connect with each other and the issue on a personal level.”
