Parents Encouraged To Support Careers In The Arts

Rapoo said this during the university’s first Carnival festival opening ceremony held at the campus indoor sports centre on Wednesday evening. She further explained that young people thrive in making their own choices. The theme for the inaugural UBFACE First Carnival and theatre festival was “Ignite your Creativity”.

“Clearly, not all of them want to be doctors and lawyers, as some parents mistakenly, sometimes tragically, assume.  Their interest might actually be in the arts. I understand your anxiety about securing future jobs in the arts at the current moment here in Botswana,” she said.
