Greensprings School premieres “It Still Takes a Village” series on YouTube

In its quest to raise awareness of the importance of creating an enabling society that protects children and encourages every child to prosper, Greensprings School, Lagos, is set to release a short drama series titled “It Still Takes a Village.”

This all-students-cast series, scheduled to premiere on June the 30 on the school’s YouTube channel, highlighted the values of age-old communal parenting where parents cared for each other’s children regardless of whether the child is theirs or not.  

Disclosing the premiere of the series, the institution’s Chief Strategy Officer, Uche Ogbu, observed that the culture of collectively raising a child through shared responsibility by various members of the society is being eroded by modern technologies and lifestyles. 

According to him, parents must continue to play their role in ensuring that every child within their society is protected and supported towards achieving their highest potential because it is their responsibility. 

“Therefore, we decided to do something about it by putting together a short drama series titled “It Still Takes a Village.” Our goal is to emphasise the need for an environment where the voices of our children are heard and taken seriously, with the help of multiple stakeholders comprising concerned parents, extended families, neighbours, teachers, professionals, and other members of the community,” he remarked.

The first episode of the series will be released on June 30, and a new episode is expected to be added every two weeks.
 
Greensprings School remains a leading thinking school, with three mainstream campuses and a special needs school (Anthos House) in Lagos.
