Mind Chess
MIND CHESS is a short film that tells the story of mental health in a neve- seen- before way!
Produced by JSE Production for the Youth Bridge Foundation, MIND CHESS tells a story of mental health, family dynamics, and the journey towards healing. The film gives us glimpses of internal struggles: overwhelming despair, desperate cries for help, and futile attempts to find solace. The short film also raise awareness of the prevalence of mental health among youth and avenues for addressing it.

Policy Brief
This policy brief provides an overview of the issues surrounding youth participation in governance and electoral processes in Ghana and proposes key factors that can contribute to stability and development in this area. Ghana has a large youthful population, with 73.7% of the population falling below the age of 35 years. However, youth participation in political and electoral processes remains low, with less than 2% of the 275 -member Parliament falling within the 21-35 age range. This marginalization of the youth population creates a risk for social unrest
and conflict. To address this issue, the government of Ghana and other stakeholders need to implement various initiatives to enhance youth engagement, civic education, and youth representation.
