This is a fascinating opportunity for you to learn about the political, social and economic forces that shaped 20th Century South African politics, including apartheid, with your peers from around the Commonwealth. Hosted by Stellenbosch University, this is the first time the program will take place in a winter climate. Explore South Africa’s ongoing journey to reconciliation together in lectures, discussions and group project work over the course of a week. Hear from academic experts who will bring the country’s complex history to life and help you to shape your own perspective. Take a field-trip to Robben Island prison, where Nelson Mandela and other anti-apartheid campaigners were jailed. Make new friends from countries across the Commonwealth while exploring historically significant events in an open, welcoming, intercultural environment. If you are inspired by imagining what a more equitable future looks like for all, and want to take action in your community, then this is the event for you! Outside of the classroom, you can get to know your course-mates by taking part in social activities such as games nights, film screenings and more. You will stay on campus in Stellenbosch University accommodation: they will provide you with everything you need to make the most of a life-changing experience at the ACU Summer School.
