MISORNU, FOSDA hold landmark safety and security awareness training for over 200 cadet leaders

MISORNU Safety Center and the Foundation for Security and Development in Africa (FOSDA) held a groundbreaking joint Security and Safety Awareness training session for more than 200 Cadet Leaders and Trainers across Ghana.

The two?hour virtual session, hosted from Adanwomase in the Ashanti Region, introduced participants to essential safety and security awareness skills designed to strengthen proactive responses to violence, indiscipline, and emerging threats within Senior High Schools and other educatonal insitutions in Ghana.

The training forms part of a broader national effort to address the rising cases of school violence, hooliganism, and student?led clashes reported across the country.

Drawing on insights from the Cadet Youth Mediation and Peace Initiative (CYMPI) framework, the session prepared Cadet Trainers for an upcoming intensive Trainer?of?Trainers programme that will equip them with conflict mediation, emotional intelligence, early?warning detection, and peer?led safety education skills.

The initiative aligns with MISORNU and FOSDA’s shared commitment to transforming school environments into safer, more peaceful spaces for effective teaching and learning.

In their opening remarks,  Mr  David Eklu ,Director of Misornu Safety Center and Mrs Theodora Anti , Excutive Director,FOSDA commended the National Cadet Corps for their patriotism and volunteerism, describing the Cadets as a powerful force for shaping disciplined young  leaders and safeguarding Ghana’s future.

They emphasized the critical role Cadet Trainers play as first responders, peace ambassadors, and influencers capable of shifting school culture away from violence and towards responsibility, unity, and mutual respect.

Both institutions reaffirmed their commitment to working collaboratively with the Cadet Corps and relevant authorities to build a resilient, nationwide safety ecosystem for every Ghanaian student.
