THE NEXT GENERATION'S EXCHANGE PROGRAM Monday December 6 2:00 - 5:00 PM
AN OPEN SPACE CONFERENCE Tuesday December 7, 1999 2:00-5:00 PM
The objective of this program is to offer young people an opportunity to experience of the social history and contemporary life of Cape Town. We will focus on the District 6 removal and the township of Mannenberg on the Cape Flats, where District 6 residents were displaced to over 30 years ago. In the morning, forty members of the Next Generation will visit SHAWCO youth center in Mannenberg. Youth Ambassadors from District 6 will give tours to the Next Generation of the District 6 museum, and in the afternoon we will bring together all members of the Next Generation and young people from Mannenberg for a ceremony to heal and honor the land.
The Next Generation's capstone event, this program will build upon lessons learned and initiatives inspired over the preceding days. Unstructured in the sense that there is no pre planned agenda, this gathering allows young people to engage with others in lively dialogue about expanding the Parliament's spirit throughout the world. In the end young people are invited to take charge of facilitating interfaith cooperation and social service in their own communities.
