Already making waves is the team’s first video release, which you can check out on the Colours Ghana Instagram page.
Over the next couple of months, WHAT’S YOUR COLOUR?, by entertaining, provoking, informing, and engaging with young people, will encourage Ghana’s future leaders to do something truly revolutionary; make their voices heard, and make an unwavering stand for positive change.
The young citizens of Ghana need to realize that policies affecting their own futures will be determined by the outcome of the elections, and that it’s simply not enough to complain about our economy, about our education and healthcare systems, about unemployment, or about the lack of basic social amenities. It’s time for the youth to make their voices count for something, and that’s what the WHAT’S YOUR COLOUR? campaign is here for; to inform young people that they must vote for the revolution they crave.
When you wake up in the morning, what thoughts go through your mind? What are your worries and fears? What motivates you to get up and go to work or school? Is what you’re being taught in school enough? Is it preparing you for the kind of future you’ve dreamed of? Are you being conditioned to succeed in life? Do you enjoy your job, and is it what you planned on doing? If the answer is no, why are you still there? Is it the crippling fear that you might not find another job? What kind of future are you building for yourself and your children? Where do you see yourself 5 years from now? How about 10 years from now? Are your goals within reach? What’s stopping you from achieving them? What impact do you want to make on the world, and what do you want to be remembered for?
These are hard hitting questions that we the youth must reflect on to get that reality check we’ve so desperately needed. Changing our circumstances begins with making a conscious decision to act.
Your vote is your voice, and the time to use it is now.
