In light of the circulation on social media of recordings of school children engaged in sexual activity, the Buxton Arts Theatre (BAT) has embarked on a project to empower vulnerable students at five schools on the East Coast of Demerara using the arts.
The project, which has already begun, is targeting the five East Coast Demerara secondary schools under the theme ‘REACH’—Respect yourself and others; be Empowered; Aspire for greatness; Conquer all fears; and Hold on to your dreams.
The project was launched on March 3 at the Bladen Hall Multilateral School with the group performing skits, poems, and songs, as well as with a motivational speech being done by Wil Campbell, Founder and Managing Director at Solutions Training Consultancy and Counselling Services.
