GEMA Vision: Uniting Tradition and Progress for a Brighter Future
May 5, 2014
In a rapidly evolving world, cultural heritage can sometimes feel distant to younger generations. However, the GEMA Cultural Association (GCA) is committed to bridging this generational gap, ensuring that young people in the Gikuyu, Embu, Meru, and Akamba communities continue to celebrate and connect with their cultural roots.
Through innovative programs and a fresh approach, GCA is building a legacy where young members are both custodians and champions of GEMA’s rich cultural heritage.

Youth-Led Cultural Events
One way GCA is fostering youth involvement is by organizing youth-led cultural events. From festivals to art exhibitions, these events give young people a platform to explore and celebrate their heritage in creative ways. Young members are encouraged to participate in traditional music, dance, and storytelling, bringing these customs to life in ways that resonate with their generation. The result? A vibrant, intergenerational exchange where elders pass on wisdom, and youth bring fresh energy.
GCA recognizes that the digital world is where most young people spend their time. To reach this audience, GCA has established a strong social media presence, sharing traditional stories, proverbs, and cultural insights online.
