Through our civic education program we can engage post war Liberian citizens to participate in a wholesome functioning democracy, engage in fruitful dialogues, and promote a culture of peace and equality and freedom of expression

Above is a scene from Joe Gbaba’s “The Minstrel’s Tales” performed by Dehkontee Artists Theatre at the Centennial Memorial Pavilion in 1992. Promoting cultural awareness is very crucial to maintaining stability, national unity, and sustainable peace, rehabilitation and reconciliation in a post war society. We believe that with the requisite financial, material, and moral supports in place we can do an excellent job of once again reuniting our people and creating national consciousness through the promotion of our national hegemony via the performing arts–through drama, music, dance, etc.

With the requisite funding and logistical support we can provide an efficient early literacy program for post war Liberian children to improve the literacy rate in Liberia and to secure a brighter future for post war Liberian children

Above are members of the Dehkontee Artists Theatre Children’s Peace Theatre engaging in a family friendly interaction after their performance during the cultural extravaganza. The peace process should be inclusive by engaging children in promoting peace and reconciliation because they are the most victimized during civil unrests. This may also provide them self-expression skills as well as develop their innate talents to become eloquent public speakers and ambassadors of peace. Members of the DATI Children’s Peace Theatre receive acting lessons, as well as training in improving their literacy skills: writing, reading, speaking, listening, and problem-solving and peaceful conflict resolution skills
