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.
