Act for Change

Act for Change Act for Change (AfC) is Non Governmental Organisation initiated and sustained by the young people of the deprived community of James Town, Accra

Act for Change focuses on using forum theatre as an advocacy tool in order to address the daily abuse of rights experienced by the youth in our community. While Ghana has had a reported success in bringing down HIV rate through education and advocacy, in communities such as James Town teenagers and other young people are particularly vulnerable to relationship and domestic violence, HIV and AIDS and other STIs and Human Rights Abuses.

On International Youth Day 2026, we had the privilege of coming together at the Jamestown Community Theatre Centre to honor the incredible diversity, bold voices and inspiring dreams of young people across Ghana.

In partnership with the European Union in Ghana through their Circle of EU Youth Alumni and the EU Youth Sounding Board programmes, this event was true to its core led entirely by the youth themselves. Through powerful creative performances and dialogue, young leaders took centre stage to share their thoughts on the real challenges facing Ghanaian youth today.

Their stories, creativity and vision demonstrated an unwavering resilience and a vibrant hope for a better, more inclusive future.

When young people are given the mic, extraordinary things happen.

Let's continue to amplify youth voices!

🚀 We’re excited to announce that the second batch of our Transforming Men Movement workshop kicked off last month! 🎉

This journey creates a safe space where men openly share their experiences and engage in meaningful conversations around positive masculinity, sexual and gender-based violence, sexual and reproductive health and rights, as well as fatherhood and caregiving.

Last month’s sessions were filled with energy and connection, as participants built strong bonds while exploring the realities of fatherhood and caregiving. Through interactive activities like the fun and participatory “Rate My Father” game, along with value clarification and attitude transformation exercises, the men explored new perspectives and grew together.

Stay tuned as we continue to create safe spaces for men to transform themselves and their communities! 💪✨

We’re thrilled to share vibrant moments from our recent Analytical Theatre performance, in collaboration with DUNK-Developing Unity Nurturing Knowledge ! 🎭✨

Using our newly adapted interactive theatre approach, we empowered audiences to deeply reflect on crucial themes surrounding Protection from Sexual Exploitation, Abuse, and Harassment (PSEAH).

Together with parents, guardians, adolescents, young people, and the broader community, we explored vital issues of child protection while highlighting the essential roles of teachers, caregivers, and youth in safeguarding our future.

Our commitment to evolving and redefining our methods ensures that communities are truly empowered, driving meaningful change through strong partnerships.
