Nurturing Young Talents in Kenya: Talent Splash events by Wynton House of Music and Pamoja Kids

Talent Splash – Talent Competition

The Talent Splash Show was spawned by the desire to give children from different backgrounds a stage to express themselves and empower them through music. Our offering will be a truly unique product and a great opportunity in communicating with children and those who have the responsibility of bringing them up.

Objectives of The Pamoja Talent Splash Show

The key objective of The Pamoja's Talent Splash Show is to showcase individual talent found among Kenyan youth with a view to help nurture the formation and use of these gifts in everyday life. It is anticipated that the spirit of competition will not only bring out the best in the children, but will also encourage hard work, discipline and guidance of their energy towards the creative fields. In the process, there will be many things to celebrate about our young ones and there will be every possibility that many of them will find their true calling and enjoy the opportunities that come with them.

- generating future talent by capitalising on young people especially from the marginalised areas of our society; - opening opportunities for children from poor backgrounds and most left out especially the handicapped children to express themselves; - providing opportunities for gifted children by giving them a stage to express their personalities; - closing the generation gap between children and parents; - educating the public at large on the benefits of promoting creative artistic skills in children and youth, with the possible goal of jobs creation, and a conducive learning environment in which they can occupy their time in creative ways; - creating a social element among youth, locally and internationally; - producing positive role models for the younger generations; - teaching children positive values to emulate those who have done much for their families; - creating talent cell groups within different counties.
