The Arts and Tourism Writers Association of Ghana (ATWAG) is embarking on a revival.<\/p>\n

The Association held a programme dubbed ATWAG Brand Refresh on Friday, July 22, 2022 at the Alisa Hotel to outline strategies to make it more vibrant and attractive.<\/p>\n

In his speech, the President of ATWAG, George Quaye, noted that he is dedicated to making the group more impactful to the arts, tourism and culture space.<\/p>\n

As part of his plans, he announced that ATWAG will be having a group welfare policy with Star Assurance.<\/p>\n

\"ATWAG<\/figure>\n

\u201cWe cannot continue to rely on friends and fellow group members when the unexpected happens. We must take charge of our own fortunes and mitigate whatever negative effects an unexpected event may plunge us into.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"ATWAG<\/figure>\n

\u201cThis is what inspired us to broker a new insurance policy with the STAR ASSURANCE GROUP. They will share the policy with us and I do hope we all sign on because starting tonight, ATWAG will no longer contribute monies to support members especially in the case of death,\u201d George Quaye noted.<\/p>\n

\"ATWAG<\/figure>\n

The policy has four slots for each ATWAG member, spouse (if any), two parents or in-laws. One can nominate a parent as well.<\/p>\n

\"ATWAG<\/figure>\n

He also announced the group\u2019s readiness to collaborate with institutions within the creative industry including the Ministry of Information and the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture.<\/p>\n

\"ATWAG<\/figure>\n

Mr. Quaye intends to introduce games as means of recreation, socialisation and networking.<\/p>\n

\"ATWAG<\/figure>\n

\u201cAdditionally, we will also launch \u201cTHE ATWAG GAMES\u201d to help curb the problems of writers block, a lack of creativity, inspiration, drive and most importantly to bring our members together in fun activities while sharing ideas, nurturing relationships and growing stronger for Mother Ghana,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

A new logo for ATWAG was also unveiled at the programme.<\/p>\n
