Young people from MSS have teamed up with Grand Trine Management to create the "Turn Up" music video, an original project that promotes school attendance, creativity, and teamwork. Written and performed by the young people themselves, the video highlights the importance of showing up, working together, and expressing themselves through music and dance.
"Turn Up" showcases how the school can be a space for collaboration and creativity, encouraging young people to engage and build confidence in their abilities. This project is part of MSS's commitment to fostering a positive and supportive learning environment for all.
