YOUTH DAY AT MAKERS LANDING

Date
16 June 2022
Location/Venue
Makers Landing

V&A Waterfront and Lalela @ Makers Landing

Lalela provides educational arts for at-risk youth to spark creative thinking and awaken the entrepreneurial spirit. Through Lalela’s arts curriculum and critical messaging component, they ignite imagination and teach children how to map and manifest their dreams and goals, launching the possibility of a different future for themselves and their communities.

From 9am at Makers Landing, the Lalela Leadership Programme will be working with 15 grade 9 learners from Vista High School partnering with 15 learners from their programme to carry out a workshop on the ‘Heart Maps’ curriculum.

A Heart Map is an artwork that you create for someone else that represents four chambers of their heart: their identity/background; talents and passions; fears and challenges; and dreams/goals for the future. Lalela Heart Maps are designed to connect people on a meaningful heart-to-heart artful journey.

Public are then welcomed to join. From 10am, a big canvas that poses a question about South Africa’s youth will be set-up with paint and markers at Makers Landing that the public will be invited to respond and contribute to in writing or visually. Lalela’s leadership learners are going to brainstorm and come up with a simple and evocative question that they as the youth of South Africa feel is important to ask and get the public thinking about. A few of the leadership learners and a Lalela staff member will be present to manage the activity and answer any questions.
