What is it all about?

As part of the activities to celebrate Youth Month (in commemoration of June 1976), a cultural history educational tour will be organised to cater for in-school youth, Grade 11 and/or 12 learners in all provinces are to learn more about the events that contributed to the June 16 related uprisings, and also visit the various places that played a role.

The NYDA will implement this activity in partnership with the National Department of Arts and Culture. This is part of the legacy education that contributes to social cohesion and ensuring that youth understand and appreciate their history. This is with the aim of educating the youth of today about the June 16 uprising, and the historical places in Soweto that form part of the country’s rich history.

The My History Tour Programme

Learners will be handed reflective questionnaires on all the destinations that they will be visiting. The aim is to assist the learners to reflect on what they learn during the tour.

Various sessions will be held with the learners:

1. •a career guidance session by an NYDA career guidance counsellor
   

2. •an Arts and Culture session where young people will be given a crash course on South African symbols.
