The South African Schools Festivals bring 6000 South African
learners and their teachers to the threshold of artistic,
educational, dramatic and social enrichment.
Aimed at grade 11's and 12's, the Schools Festivals programme
aims to go some way towards meeting the need for a varied
Arts curriculum in Schools while:
 |
Contributing to between four and five of
the learning areas and associated critical outcomes
identified in Curriculum 2005. |
|
Fostering a deepened understanding and
appreciation of English as a universal tool of communication;
|
|
Developing within our youth a passionate
interest in, and a love for, the Arts and culture
of South Africa; |
|
Encouraging cross-cultural interaction
and deepened understanding of different cultures; |
|
Promoting personal growth and encouraging
the development of individual potential; |
|
Encouraging learners to nurture an open
mind, and to face new things, and the unknown with
enthusiasm and maturity; |
Each Festivals gives delegates an intense Arts experience
in an instructive mix of lectures, theatre productions and
workshops.
Regional Festivals take place in the Western Cape, Eastern
Cape, KwaZulu Natal, Free State/Northern Cape, North West,
Mpumalanga and in Gauteng.
The Standard Bank National Schools Festival takes place
