Dear All The Department of Social Development will be hosting a 4 day YOUTH camp at the Bundi Adventures in Breede River close to Worcester. Check Website out: bundi.co.za/education/ It will take place from the 6th November 2014 until the 9th November 2014 We are looking at the 6 Districts in the Western Cape: *Metro *Overberg *Southern Cape *Boland *West Coasts - 32 Youth needed *Central Karoo If you are interested, please send me the following details: Name & Surname: Mobile Number: Email Address: Parents name and contact number: District: Area: Name of organisation/church/npo/ngo/mosque: Please note the AGE FOR THE YOUTH CAMP: 17 – 24 YEARS OLD Information about the Youth Camp: Central to these camps will be presentations of action plans. The plans will be intergraded into a provincial youth plan. Local partners and stakeholders will be expected to pledge support for the initiatives that young people commence. Key Stakeholders: DOD, District Municipalities, govt departments, traditional leaders, youth civil society (formations), business sector, mentors and SMME’s. Love Life, NYDA. Outcome: is to establish Provincial Youth Forums which will be the ultimate Youth Club Structure responsible for lobbying and advocacy issues at a provincial level. To be the link between the clubs at local level and the Department of Social Development DSD main role is to facilitate the establishment of Provincial Youth Forums in connection with youth clubs. Furthermore, the purpose is to capacitate and strengthen the youth leaders from youth organisations and forums, and to also prepare them for their roles during the National Camp. Youth camps present an environment where young people are moulded, guided and skilled to enhance their sense of responsibility and maximise their individual and collective energies for personal development as well as development of the broader society. In his 2012 State of the Nation Address, President Jacob Zuma neatly captures post-apartheid South Africa’s most vexing societal and human development predicament when he said: “…steady progress [has been made] in various areas such as health, education, the fight against crime, human settlements, energy, water provision, rural development and others. However, the triple challenge of unemployment, poverty and inequality persists, despite the progress made. Africans, women and the youth continue to suffer most from this challenge.” This raises a need for the Department of Social Development together with its partners to mobilize youth and create platforms to dialogue on issues that affect them and their communities. Further, to teach them important life skills and age-old values of Ubuntu and patriotism that contribute to social cohesion and prompt active citizenry and community service. The Department has thus initiated youth camps as a vehicle through which young people from diverse backgrounds converge in one setting to learn and share inspirational experiences that will guide them towards their own development and that of the broader society. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me and also please share this information with relevant youth organisations.
