Open Book Youth Day

Home | Open Book Youth Day

On Saturday, 24 September 2011, a group of Equalisers joined learners from schools in the Cape Town City Bowl and Khayelitsha for the Open Book Literary Festival's Youth Day. The day started at Matthew Goniwe Memorial High School for the official opening of the school's library (a collaborative project between Open Book and Equal Education). Thereafter, the learners visited the Harare Library in Khayelitsha for readings by authors Sifiso Mzobe and Cynthia Jele. The day ended at the District Six Homecoming Centre where the Human Rights Media Centre ran workshops on physical theatre and storytelling, and the ethics of storytelling.

About Equal Education

Equal Education (EE) is a youth-led mass democratic movement of learners, post-school youth, parents, teachers and community members who use mobilisation and public action, supported by careful research, to empower young activists and ensure equality in South African education. We are a leader in youth leadership development. Our campaigns are informed by the experiences of EE members and by policy analysis. We build understanding of the education system, while drawing attention to problems faced by schools and their communities. EE offers a new way to participate in the democratic system and bring change to education and society.
