“Be mindful of youthful stage”

The annual edition of ‘Teens to the Top’, a students programme, aimed at empowering persons between the ages of 13 and 19, has been held with a call on students to be mindful of what they do during their youthful stage, since that will inform what they are likely to become in the future.
The CEO of Tumtum Arts and Entertainment, Nana Agyei Parker, who made the call, also advised students to participate in educational programmes as it’s key to their development as well as to the country.
This year’s programme was on the theme “My Independence, Our Development”, and was attended by students from Accra Girls, Labone and St Thomas Aquinas Senior High schools.
The students had the chance to listen to panellists who discussed topical issues and also contributed to the discussion.
The issues discussed were “Youth and the media — How I express myself as a young person” and “Speaking the language I understand”.
Some students also took to the stage to perform choreography to entertain their fellow students.
Mr Parker, who is the brain behind “Teens to the Top”, said the objectives of the programme were to equip teens with excellent communication skills, encourage creativity and expression among the youth, and also to create a network for teenagers from different schools.
