Engaging about our past, present and future
About 500 young people had been invited for a day of interactive engagements about heritage, a cohesive society, career guidance, life choices and active citizenship. In a rotation of small groups, the learners experienced a number of different stations on a variety of topics. Our Civics Academy Project was invited to present one of its videos to each of the groups, "Why should I vote", always followed by a discussion and quiz session.

In an innovative, practical collaboration with the Department of Higher Education, students from Tshwane colleges had volunteered to be co-facilitators in the workshops. The event was part of an ongoing partnership we have with the Departments of Education - Civics Academy is actively working on supporting Life Orientation teaching and training in both TVET colleges and high schools in South Africa.
