Power of AKOSIA

Several months ago I co-created a non profit organization called AKOSIA. We create and organize summer projects for street children. This summer we are going to Accra, Ghana with a four-week programme that will take 80 children on a creative filmmaking journey. This will involve writing, set-design, costume making, acting and shooting, culminating in a mini film festival for the children and their communities at the end of the summer. We aim to let the children produce the films as independently as possible, providing them with tools and technical skills where necessary. In this way, we hope that the children will get the chance to see themselves in a different light and that this will inspire them be become more confident in their creative abilities and in general. During the four weeks we will also be providing the children with two meals a day and organized afternoon sporting and art activities.

We are going to Accra with a COACH approach - I am bringing several of my coaching 'ways of being' to the table.

#1 - ALL CHILDREN ARE NATURALLY CREATIVE, RESOURCEFUL AND WHOLE

#2 - THEY ARE ALWAYS RIGHT AND HOLD ALL THE ANSWERS TO THEIR QUESTIONS

It is going to be an amazing summer - please check it out - http://www.akosia.org/
