The 63rd edition of the annual Kenya Schools and Colleges National Drama and Film Festivals kicked off in style at Melvin Jones, Nakuru, with students delivering memorable performances.

Anchored on the theme 'Leveraging Technology to Nurture Learners' Potential in Creative Arts', the productions fearlessly tackled a spectrum of pressing issues, from the devastating consequences of road carnage and bad leadership to education and other societal challenges.

Through compelling plays, dances and poetry, the young artists demonstrated a deep understanding of the challenges faced by learners in today's society.

Golden Elites Academy from Kisumu staged a play titled 'My Name is Joy', which addressed the bullying of special needs children, particularly those who are physically challenged.
