UNIVERSAL THEATRE CLUB

AIMS, OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

 

The universal theatre club is a youth-led “edutainment” group.

Our aims and visions are geared towards eliminating bad social habits among the youth of today and in society.

Specifically, our brothers, sisters and friends in the first and second cycle institution are our main targets.

 

Our own research have proved that peer pressure, desire for fashion lack of parental love, broken homes, passion for money, etc. are some of  the main causes of disobedience, disrespect, insubordination, truancy, child abuse and most importantly prostitution and drug abuse and addiction, leading to teenage pregnancies among the youth who are our future leaders. Furthermore, it has also been proved that advice given by peer on issues such as mentioned above are more cause effective than elderly advice which has now been termed by the target group as “colo-stuff”.

 

Also, today’s youth have accepted modern ways of entertainment in good faith so much that it is leading them astray from the objectives for which it has been initiated. All the above mentioned points, coupled with the increasing number of HIV/AIDS cases among the youth have made it a necessity for the Universal Theatre Club to focus its attention on measures of extracting, eliminating, reconstructing and restoring its members and other friends, brothers and sisters in the educational institutions.

Our main aim is to:

  1. Change the attitudinal behaviour of the youth
  2. mobilize the youth to fight HIV/AIDS and other deadly STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)
  3. Encourage students to make hygiene a less complicated task and an easy to practice thing.
  4. recycle the future leaders of our time
  5. Reveal the hidden talents in the youth at the earliest possible time.
  6. Encourage parents and their children (especially the girl child) to school.
  7. creating awareness on the dangers of life and consequences of serving God
  8. Help make learning a habit to students.
  9. Educate the youth (students) through entertainment.
  10. Organize edutainment packages for schools, churches, organizations etc.

 

The Club’s intended modes of achieving its aims and objectives are through the organization of the following:

 

i)                    Youth Fours

ii)                   Youth Conferences

iii)                 Youth Seminars

iv)                 Debates

v)                  Excursions

In the course of our activities, experts and personnel from edutainment institutions (like the National Theatre , Centre for National Culture etc.) are invited to speak, educate, teach and answer questions to help us assess ourselves with our visions. Our greatest influential instruments for carrying out our objectives is through educating and entertaining at the same time. These are done through acceptable means such as Drama (acting)

Comedy       

Hip-Life (rap music)

Poetry

Dancing (choreography) etc.

From film to digital, we do it all.
