Workshop for District Cultural Officers in Ashanti
opens
Kumasi, Nov. 21 GNA - A four-day workshop aimed
at building the capacities of district cultural
officers in the Ashanti region to play a pivotal
role in the dissemination and implementation on the
National Cultural policy, opened in Kumasi on
Tuesday.
The workshop, which will generally examine the scope
of integrated approach to disciplines under cultural
education is under the auspices of the Ghana
Education Service (GES)
It is also aimed at exposing participants to topics,
including the teaching of music, dance, poetry
recital, as well as the role of cultural officers in
modifying negative cultural practices.
Addressing the workshop, Mrs Belinda Serwaah Addo,
Ashanti Regional Director of Education urged
stakeholders to be proactive in campaigning against
negative cultural practices and beliefs to help
develop the nation's rich cultural heritage.
She underscored the need to expose the youth to the
time-tested cultural values and norms as a means of
sensitising them to appreciate their own and cherish
their own culture instead of foreign ones.
Mrs Addo indicated that such an effort was also
crucial for an accelerated development of the Nation
since "it is culture that motivates man to strive
for perfection in all endeavours in a positive
manner."
Mrs Georgina Acquah, Ashanti regional cultural co-ordinator,
advocated for the teaching of performing arts in a
more realistic manner in basic schools to bring home
to students the real meaning and significance of
their indigenous culture.
