Led by the school’s two Safe Space Focal Persons, Mr. Lokoe Kennedy Komla and Ms. Ayensu Fafa Ardyce, together with their energetic 15-member Awareness Creation Team, the day began with a lively student forum. Learners shared ideas, asked questions, and explored ways to stand up against sexual harassment in schools. The discussions were honest and full of determination to create a safer environment for both girls and boys.

This year’s International Youth Day theme, Local Youth Actions for the SDGs and Beyond, celebrates the power of young people to turn big dreams into real changes in their communities. And that’s exactly what this new club aims to do.

One of the organizers, Mr. Ali Frank, put it simply: “This club will be a hub of creativity and action. We’ll run talk shows, campus news, drama, poetry, debates, graffiti, and rap competitions. Our message will not die after a week. It will be alive every day.”

Students were eager to take part. One volunteer summed it up beautifully: “I bring creativity, insight, and commitment to give a voice to silent victims.”

The day also featured a short drama, Silence Is Not Safety, directed by Ms. Ayensu Ardyce Fafa and performed by the school drama group. The performance broke the ice and sparked conversations among students about speaking up and supporting one another.
