ZIMBABWEAN youth theatre entity, the Precious Children’s Arts (PICA) Organisation, in partnership with Little Mr and Miss Africa, will host the first-ever Colours of Her Future: Girl Child Picnic Celebration at the Zimbabwe-German Society in Harare on Saturday.
In a statement, PICA founder and executive director Chipo Basopo-Chindungwe said the event will provide an opportunity for girls from different schools to participate.
“Girls from various schools and groups will participate, each group selecting a unique colour to represent through their outfits and a creative, color-themed picnic basket,” Basopo-Chindungwe told NewsDay Life & Style.
The celebration, which is part of the International Day of the Girl Child commemorations, seeks to honour young girls aged 10 to 18, and empower them through interactive activities and motivational sessions.
The event also aims to create a safe, fun and colourful space where girls can express themselves and dream big for the future and aligns with this year’s global theme Elevating Girls’ Voices for Sustainable Development.
The PICA leader said, they will feature inspiring power talks from influential women, fun activities like a colour parade, karaoke sessions and interactive games, all fostering creativity, leadership and connection among the girls.
“This is not just a day to reflect on the challenges girls face, but a moment to uplift their voices, inspire their dreams, and celebrate their future,” she said.
“This event will provide a unique platform for girls to engage with role models, learn from each other, and showcase their talents in a supportive environment.”
