A core part of the work at Drama Queens is making resources available to more people in digestible formats. Our workshops allow us to curate resources and present them in accessible formats. We currently offer 3 workshop streams; Let’s Talk Consent, Women of Independence, and Artistic Activism workshops. We revel in the opportunity to curate our content to suit the requirements of each audience.
Let’s Talk Consent
Our Lets Talk Consent workshop is a series of sex education sessions that we continue to expand creatively to educate on topics like rape culture in our effort to foster a consent culture in our Ghanaian communities. In 2024, we diversified this into the Consent Drive-Through program, where we take the gospel of boundaries and body autonomy into the everyday streets of Accra, from car washes to nightlife hotspots in Jamestown, our team and volunteers spark mini-conversations on sex education with willing strangers.
Women Of Independence
Our Women Of Independence workshops began in 2022, offering an alternative angle to the Independence Story of Ghana. It charts the efforts of Women whose Financial, Intellectual and Physical contributions aided in the Ghanaian independence story. The Women of Independence Workshops are held primarily in Ghanaian basic schools serving as an introductory session into Women’s Engagement in Politics, Erasure, Women in Leadership, as well as Representative historical Documentation.
Artistic Activism
We believe that artistic artivism both engenders behavioral change and provides a decolonial avenue to documenting history. The merger of the creative and performing arts with story telling allow us avenues to raise awareness and mobilize communities. Our Artistic Activism Workshops are forums where we use our selected resources to teach these skills and tools to many young people in the hopes that they too become Artistic activists driving change in their respective communities and capacities.

Our artistic activism workshops have evolved into the Eban Collective (2024), a soft cohort program which provides resources and skills to queer youth
