S6Ep11| Could cultural games be the antidote to tackling antisocial behaviour? - part 1

AKADi Magazine

London-based organisation Cultural Games Association (CGA) UK believes that education the next generation about the social, cultural and health benefits of traditional games played in African and Caribbean could help to tackle the rise in anti-social behaviour among the youth.
We went along to their launch in February 2024 to find out more and later spoke to representatives from the Association - Vincent John, chair of CGA-UK and Mariama Grant, CGA-UK secretary.
We also spoke to Stephen Barnabis, founder of Project Zero and Mrs Joyce Mahama, president of Women Sports Association of Ghana (WOSPAG) and president of African Women in Sports Association (AWISA).
You will also hear from Claudia Owusu and Ife Oluwamuyide, co-creators of the film 'Ampe: Leap into the Sky, Black Girl'.
