Young aspiring actors in the Kunene Region have discovered the power of theatre to tell their own stories, following a week-long training workshop facilitated by the National Theatre of Namibia.

Aspiring actors showcased the skills they acquired during a week-long theatre training workshop.

Participant Sackina Kumengu highlighted the value of the programme, expressing her gratitude for the opportunity and encouraging other young people to take advantage of similar initiatives.

The National Youth Council's Kunene Regional Coordinator, Brandy Lufuma, applauded the participants for their performance and called for the production to reach a wider audience.

She also expressed hope that some of the actors would go on to represent Kunene in larger productions.

NTN's General Manager Alma Ulamba reaffirmed the institution's commitment to nurturing talent across the regions, emphasising the importance of giving communities a platform to tell their own stories.

The participants received certificates of participation, marking the end of a week-long programme that equipped them with new theatrical skills and provided a platform to express themselves, showcase their talent and share their stories with the wider community.
