As part of activities marking the 2025 National Youth Festival, the National Youth Authority (NYA) will host a nationwide dialogue between Ghanaian youth and religious leaders from August 1 to 3.
The initiative is aimed at fostering conversations around faith, values, social challenges, and national development, with an emphasis on integrating moral and spiritual mentorship into youth empowerment efforts.
Speaking at the launch of the festival, the CEO of NYA, Osman Ayariga, noted that the Youth and Faith Dialogue is intended to “promote patriotism and nationalism while addressing the ethical and spiritual needs of young people.”
The dialogue is part of a broader strategy to strengthen the moral foundations of the youth, encourage intergenerational learning, and reinforce civic responsibility through partnerships with religious communities.
“This engagement will provide a platform for young people to reflect on values and receive guidance on navigating societal pressures with integrity,” the NYA boss added.
The 2025 National Youth Festival is themed, “Igniting Potential; Inspiring Change” and includes a lineup of activities throughout August focused on skills development, health, governance, and social inclusion.
