Culture, Sports and National Orientation


The discussion on Culture, our Traditions, Heritage, Sports and National Orientation will be centered on the policy priority areas as set out in the Ghana National Youth Policy:

  • Arts and Culture depicts the life of a people. It is an important vehicle for appreciating and understanding the heritage of the people. It represents a sense of identity, self-respect, and the medium through which generations learn and transfer progressive skills, techniques of social relations, and survival.
  • Sports and recreation enhance one's physical well-being, and self-esteem, while contributing to socio-economic development in the form of improved public health.
  • The National Youth Week will be celebrated annually under appropriate themes to bring to the fore the potentials of the youth in national development through promotion and rewarding of creativity and innovation.
  • Volunteerism is used globally as a tool for developing active citizens, fostering national cohesion, and creating opportunities for skills development and application among young people. There is a need to make volunteerism attractive to young people and inspire patriotism.
