About Us

Welcome to Pareciousskva, where we transform the ancient art of storytelling into a powerful tool for personal and professional growth. Founded in 2015 by communication expert Dr. Kofi Mensah, our organization has grown from a small workshop series in Cape Coast to a recognized leader in storytelling-based skills development across West Africa.

Our Story

Dr. Kofi Mensah teaching first storytelling workshop

Pareciousskva began with a simple observation by Dr. Kofi Mensah, then a university professor of communications: students who could effectively tell stories about their subjects retained information better and engaged more deeply with the material. What started as an experimental teaching methodology quickly proved to have applications far beyond the classroom.

In 2015, Dr. Mensah partnered with marketing specialist Abena Owusu and sales trainer Emmanuel Amoah to establish Pareciousskva—a name derived from "precious knowledge through shared verbal art"—as a formal training organization. Our first workshop series, hosted at the University of Cape Coast, attracted educators eager to enhance their teaching methods.

Word spread quickly, and within a year, corporate clients began requesting customized programs for their marketing and sales teams. By 2018, we had expanded our offerings to serve clients throughout Ghana, and in 2020, we launched our digital learning platform to reach professionals across West Africa and beyond.

Today, Pareciousskva works with over 200 organizations annually, from educational institutions to multinational corporations, helping thousands of professionals develop their communication skills through the power of narrative.
