Veteran Ghanaian musician Okyeame Kwame has announced a new initiative aimed at engaging teachers and students through music and creativity.

The award winning artiste in a social media post revealed that the “Clap Challenge” will begin this week, starting with schools across the country.

He explained that the challenge will require a teacher together with students to record a video of themselves singing his “Clap” song.

According to him, the video must be lively and engaging to stand a chance of winning.

He stated that participants must also post their videos on social media with permission from their school authorities.

They are expected to use the hashtag #clap4others and tag him on any social media platform.

He added that one teacher will be selected as a winner every week and will receive a cash prize of GH¢1,000.

He noted that the final decision on winners will be made by him.

The musician encouraged teachers and students to take part in the challenge, stressing that it is designed to promote creativity, unity and positive expression among young people in schools.

This follows a GHC100,000 support from businessman, Richard Nii Armah Quaye, who lauded the musician for composing a song which has the tendency to change society and help eschew jealousy.
