Culture may be defined in many ways, but we have learned that there is a strong link between culture and history.  This week we fused the two together with the hope of getting common ground on what effect history really has on South African cultures and to our surprise, it worked… No matter what the story might be, somewhere, somehow the effects Apartheid had in South Africa always surfaces when talking culture; and this was proved when we visited a Xhosa township and the District Six Museum where we got a rude awakening on what really went on during the Apartheid era and the the shock waves that it still carries today.

Youth and Education played out some interesting opportunities for us to see what non-governmental organizations are doing to bring about change in the lives of the youth and communities living in poverty.  We visited projects such as Christel House, Learn to Earn, and the Green Point Urban Park.

Thank you Kurus for this wonderful time. I’ve enjoyed myself.  It was a good start to South Africa and I learned a lot about the country and the people. Now my internship, in Durbanville, can start!

Cities have been built, plans and policies formulated, and urban renewal programmes are being carried out!  This week we had a varied mix of visits and some interactive walks on how and why certain structures came to be. For example, what other plans are in place and how they will be implemented. We also got to understand the significance of private public partnerships and the importance of community involvement when it comes to proposed developments.

Our students are an enthusiastic, fun and inquisitive group with an incredible sense of  humour accompanied by challengingly interesting inquiries. The Language Excursion, Food and Cuisine, not only kept them munching, but it showed us that their participation stems from genuine interest and willingness to interact.
