What can the arts do for young women and girls in Ghana? Around the world?

In January of 2019, Peter Atsu Adaletey provided an overview of his work in Ghana and highlighted the important role the arts can play in building girls’ self-esteem and sense of self-worth, as well as in changing societal perceptions by showcasing their transformation. Over the course of an hour, a community of practice began to develop among the artists and teaching artists who tuned in live.

Precious Sefakor Amegbor and Sediname Delight Atsyor joined Peter to lead ITAC’s inaugural Think Tank Session.

For his work with young women in Ghana, particularly through theatre, Peter was recognized as one of ITAC’s Catalysts in 2018.
