Young Creative Writers Empowerment
Inability to write and creatively express the practice of art has been a major challenge in historically disadvantaged communities, due to lack of access to arts information and available resources. Therefore We have implemented Young Creative Writers Empowerment programme which aims to develop young creative writers' ability to write novels, dramas, folktales and poems. We host literature workshops in disadvantaged communities and also grant opportunities to most promising young writers by getting their rough work edited by professionals and published without incurring any cost. The program is co-ordinated by Nkoana P Raphala (Youth Mentor & Professional Educator) and facilitated by Jones Makwela (Artistic Director at Never Again Production, Author & Professional Educator). Program is proudly sponsored by National Arts Council of South Africa. PLEASE CLICK HERE to participate in our 2021 Young Creative Writers Empowerment. The programme will be online and venue based in Zebediela.The Closing date is 20 August 2021
Youth in Arts and Culture Action Workshop (YACAW)
Youth in Arts and Culture Action Workshop Programme is a collective, national youth network founded after the Department of Arts and Culture (DAC) ran Social cohesion dialogue workshops in all provinces. We therefore, came together as youth to form this masterclass programme whereby we share creative ideas or views that can rebuild our cultural heritage and contribute towards sustainable art development in our historically disadvantaged communities. YACAW will allow young people to discover and understand layers and intensity as well as depth behind the works of world-class Creatives. The participants of YACAW will become pioneers in technical areas of cultural heritage and be able to reflect upon our history, improvement and how creativity of united nation can build an exciting future.The programme is coordinated by Mr Thabang Tjale and proudly sponsored by Department of Sports, Arts and Culture.
