Africanism (LASA 2017)

*celebrating Africa's indigenous heritage*(strictly cultural and art)
   The human expression finds their way through varied forms of art and cultural activities. The art and culture of Nigeria too represents the
vividness of Nigerian lifestyle coupled together with a glorious history of the past to bank upon. One of the major aspects of Nigerian art and culture lies in
the fact that they draw their inspiration from the rural traditional folk heritage of the region.
  In Cape Town this week, a conference on Africa’s creative
economy bangs the drum for art, culture and the creative
industries. Policymakers
looking for ways to nurture a more
prosperous and peaceful Africa would do well to listen.
A growing body of research indicates that
Africa’s culture is a largely untapped resource that could give its economic
development a welcome fillip. Artistic and cultural activity is also proving a driver of
democratisation and can help prevent violent conflict.
    For too long most African leaders and
foreign donors have treated art and culture
as at best marginal, at worst irrelevant to
core development and peacebuilding agendas. It’s time to shake off these old assumptions, understand more clearly culture’s potential and harness it to make Africa a better place to live.
   It is on this note that the *LANGUAGES STUDENT ASSOCIATION(LASA)* of the foremost college of Education in Nigeria is set to stand as an agent to the rebirth of artistic and cultural programme back on campuses.

Get set for one of the biggest show/ concert/ competition/ artistic displays and lots more at Adeyemi college of Education this session which is expected to span for three days. Students can now prepare to showcase their talents during the programme under different categories of competitions ranging from:
1) Modelling (male and female) competition
2) Drama competition
3) Dance competition
4) Ewi chant competition
5) Poetry competition
6) Music competition.
with different awards, certificates, cash prize and consolidation gifts available to crown the efforts of the contestants.

 Keep your legs crossed and your hands akimbo as the forms for each group will be released soon and more information.
    The programme is endorsed by National institute for cultural orientation and supported by Ministry for culture and tourism in ondo state, Association of Nigerian Authors and many more yet to be unveiled.
