Tabernacle Praise Academy also won the contemporary dance challenge in the show\u00a0that brought\u00a0together scores of audiences, parents, and teachers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr William Ashong, Programme Manager, National Theatre, highlighted the impact of\u00a0Funworld\u00a0as an education and entertainment programme in nurturing the creativity and talent of children.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said the programme had, over the years, enabled students to build confidence, discipline, leadership skills, teamwork\u00a0and other soft skills through the arts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The June edition of the show, he added, was part of efforts to inculcate the value of environmental stewardship and preservation in children and inspire positive social change.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThrough performances and recitals which focus on the theme of preservation, the children are indirectly learning and playing at the same time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe believe the message will resonate well with them and stick in their subconscious as they also educate other people on the need to clean and protect the environment,\u201d Mr Ashong\u00a0stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He commended partners who supported the programme, and urged parents and pupils to participate in future editions of the show.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr Prosper Quarshie, Marketing and Sponsorship Manager\u00a0at the\u00a0National Theatre, thanked sponsors of the event, and appealed to other corporate bodies to invest in the arts.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Expressing satisfaction with the turn out, Madam\u00a0Ellen Danso, a\u00a0teacher, praised\u00a0organisers\u00a0for the thrilling show, urging parents and educators to support young talents.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p
