The Democracy Development Program has created the Students’ dialogues program as a platform for meaningful engagement among students. It is a space that can be initiated as a dialogue through a topic related to a student’s life. This platform’s purpose would be to build social fabric at these institutions that would go beyond academic needs of students that would reflect on their identity and other fundamental questions these students ask and at the same time the space would provide opportunity to broaden diversity engagement and bring various stakeholders of these institutions together towards addressing the developmental needs to students.
The first dialogue was held at Elangeni TVET College, Kwadabeka Campus in Clermont, in partnership with Sakhisizwe Community Centre (Clermont Youth Centre) on the 2nd of March 2020. The dialogue was facilitated by Sanele Hadebe, a DDP Associate facilitator.
