She said the Club would help improve the lives of students by
increasing their opportunities for active participation in the
development of the media.
“If this is done, Ghanaian children will grow to possess personal
resilience and leadership skills to build the better Ghana we are
advocating,” she said.
She made the call at the 15th Anniversary of Curious Minds Ghana,
in Accra on Friday on the theme: “15 years of Driving Young People’s
Development in the Media; The Curious Minds Experience.”
The objective behind the anniversary is to prepare the youth to
blaze the trail in developmental issues.
Mrs Lokko said Curious Minds aimed at ensuring that children had
the consent and ability to develop their interest to be confident in
developing their future.
She pleaded with television stations to allocate a slot for
Curious Minds initiatives to bring children into the mainstream media
so that they would be considered by the society as essential part of
their communities.
Mr Kingsley Obeng- Kyereh, Executive Co-ordinator of Curious
Minds said the body aimed at placing young people’s interest and
concerns at the core of its work.
He said Curious Minds would continue to provide rich
opportunities for children to learn creatively and develop personal
resilience and leadership skills.
“We believe it is every child’s right to have the opportunity to
realise (his or her) creative potential,” he said.
Mr Bawa Amadu, Assistance Country Representative of the United
Nation Population Fund said the Fund was committed to empower children
through human development support.
He advised children to forge ahead to contribute fully to the
society and lead positive and productive lives.
Curious Minds Ghana was started in 1996 by Women in Broadcasting,
an NGO to deliver high quality programmes concerning education and
learning for the development of children in Ghana.
