IMPACT
As far as the benefits are concerned, the project will give a great number of youth a forum from which they can engage in more productive art and cultural activities, as well as discover and exploit their talents.
The impact of the project on the youth should begin to be seen in the first six months, specifically the fact that more youth from the regions will begin to be drawn to the event center, and appreciate cultures from outside their own locality.
The youth are naturally the most socially active in any society, it is the stage of life where ambitions and the means to achieve those ambitions are of a high priority for many individual youth.
These targeted beneficiaries will therefore be open to any opportunity that arises to help them engage in more productive activities as participants learn through the travelling experience of both cultures Europe/Africa in the form of this forum. At the end of a year, Global New Generation will seek to conduct an impact assessment through, if possible, a different project l0cation.
This is aimed towards perpetually integrating cultures from different regions of Ghana and Germany to influence cultural pluralism and tolerance.

The research will be qualitative with specific techniques such as participant observation, interviews with all actors including local authorities.
Currently Kisumu is on the verge of completing a cultural center, which would be an ideal center for showcasing the rich cultural artifacts and values availed by the research. Therefore in coordination with stakeholders (community and relevant government ministry/ies), the project should be able to meet the objectives.

John Njathi is a renowned visual artist in Kenya with vast experience in the field. He throws his weight behind motivating and nurturing young talent in the industry. As such joins hands with Global New Generation Kenya (GNGK) as a platform through which the endeavour can be realised.
Through John, GNGK believes that it is an opportunity whereby children will exploit their talents and realise their dreams as well. John expects to use his expertise and experience that have seen him earn his livelihood over the years, to inspire the upcoming talents in Kenya.
He exhibited his work for commercial purposes in United Kingdom, and has charitably used his work to create awareness HIV/AIDS and other cross cutting issues. He has instructed young talents on part time basis in schools within Kenya, and therefore undoubtedly model for many.
The last two weeks saw Global New Generation Kenya (GNGK) engagement with key stakeholders during the visit of Global New Generation (GNG) president, Sonja Prinz. She visited Kenya between 30th July and 12th August. In her itinerary, she visited the Golden Heart School to share with the school’s administration on areas of possible partnership and to cement the started association between GNGK with the school. She went to Eldoret to aid in the shooting of the first video of a song; “Kenya baba” done in collaboration with “Dirty Down Town L.A”, a Community Based Organization in Eldoret that focuses on community service through music.
Her visit was also an opportunity to obtain vital contacts which would catalyze GNGK works in Kenya. Meetings with media practitioners and music artists were held to establish how recognized talented individuals can be channeled to further exploit their talents. Meetings of such nature included meeting with Nancy, the presenter of Crossover Gospel show, Juliani, a renowned gospel artist.
In Nairobi, she led a delegation of GNGK to meet relevant officials of Institutions and government ministries inclined towards GNGK’s areas of operation. On 3rd August it was a visit to the French Cultural Center Nairobi; Alliance Francaise. The visit yielded possibilities of partnering with the institute amidst assurances from the cultural assistant that through early requests GNGK can use their theatre to showcase talents. In an aim to establish and fill the gaps within the children affairs in Kenya, on 9th August, GNGK visited The Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Development – Department of Children Services. Through this endeavor GNGK hopes to partner with the government in the areas of art and culture.
To summarize the trip, GNGK met and discussed the production of Global New Generation Album with an upcoming artist; Austine Ochieng Odhiambo, who will be part of the Global New Generation Sampler, and Franclin Otieno who is the producer. In the production plan is renowned gospel artist Betty Bayo.
