Nayola is a striking animation film proudly representing Portugal, crafted by the acclaimed director José Miguel Ribeiro. 🇵🇹🎬 This film tackles themes of identity, war, and family dynamics which are topics we will discuss with our learners after the movie. Thank you to @euffsa for this platform!
    On Saturday, 30 September, the Windybrow Arts Cent On Saturday, 30 September, the Windybrow Arts Centre, in collaboration with Camp I Am and @nandosrsa , is set to host its first-ever Spelling Bee competition for schools in inner-city Johannesburg! This exciting event will bring together thirty-seven Grade 7 learners from IH Harris Primary School, Mahlasedi College, New Model Private College, and participants of the Windybrow’s Literacy and Homework Support Programme to showcase their spelling prowess, compete for prizes, and earn the esteemed title of the city’s best speller. @gerardbester Head of the Windybrow Arts Centre, says the Spelling Bee marks an exciting and novel opportunity for local learners - "many of whom have never participated in such an event, and a fun way for them to develop essential skills”. Nando’s Benmore Gardens Branch Manager, @colly825 a proud alumnus of Hillbrow Theatre, wanted a space at the Windybrow Arts Centre to hold a Spelling Bee, and Bester immediately responded: “we want to partner”! Nxumalo, a committed advocate for children and youth of the neighbourhoods surrounding the Windybrow Arts Centre wants to “offer learners in Johannesburg a stage to showcase their remarkable spelling abilities”. Bester reconnected with @kaicc001 Executive Director of Camp I Am, a youth educational program who also mentored the Windybrow Arts Centre, and crafted the challenging wordlist, which will remain a secret until an hour before the competition. “A Spelling Bee is a great way to ignite a passion for spelling, which serves as the gateway to reading and writing,” said Crooks-Chissano. Here begins the Countdown to an Educational Showdown!

    Our Windybrow Choir has been busy with their final Our Windybrow Choir has been busy with their final preparations for their performance at the @folklorefestival.za! We had a rehearsal at the @flamestudiosnpc which the choir was excited about! At Windybrw Arts Centre, our art programme aims to expose learners to cultural spaces which we believe will introduce them to new ideas and perspectives. Children can learn about different cultures, histories, values, beliefs, and practices from various places which can help them appreciate diversity, and foster curiosity and creativity
    We had the pleasure of hosting @sewela_langeni at We had the pleasure of hosting @sewela_langeni at our Children's Reading Room yesterday. She is the owner of @bookcirclecapital and she read her book titled, "Making Friends with Feelings" for our Literacy Programme Learners. The book is a compassionate story that teaches boys that it is OK to cry when they are sad and that it is healthy to express their emotions. We bought copies of Sewela's book in all 11 official languages and had a few of our learners read the book in their home language. 📚 It is important for community libraries to preserve and promote literature and storytelling in African languages. At the recent @thedalro Copyright User Conference it was stated that if the over 2000 community libraries brought two copies of each locally produced book, it would guarantee the purchase of over 4000 copies of each book before hitting the general market! A special thanks to @sewela_langeni for creating this story, @subi_bosa for the beautiful illustration and @newafricabooks for making it available in all official languages!

    We were excited to host Dr. Nthabiseng Lolly Tsebe We were excited to host Dr. Nthabiseng Lolly Tsebe’s book launch and workshop for her recently published book titled “Unlocking your full potential through Self-discovery”. Dr. Tsebe is a qualified medical doctor, a God-fearing woman, a writer, a motivational speaker and a health and wellness mentor who believes in changing people’s lives through words, which is what inspired her to write and publish her book. She was accompanied by Dr Tshepiso Mawasha and Mr Elias Machoga as facilitators, followed by Dr MD TuBA (Senior Lecturer at UNISA, College of Law) who was a keynote speaker. Her book is composed of 14 chapters that are aimed at unlocking one’s potential by educating one to know who they are, where they come from, what makes them stand out and be unique and where their potential lies by allowing them to find healing of past traumas and orientating them through mental health issues. The book launch and workshop had 71 participants who were all moved and inspired by Dr. Tsebe’s story and how she was able to motivate and encourage people through the power of her words at the workshop and in her book. #booklaunch #wellness #selfdiscovery

    The founder and director of @d.a.r.e.2b, @mooniba_ The founder and director of @d.a.r.e.2b, @mooniba_bhyat joined us at Windybrow to have a conversation with our young girls about menstruation health and period poverty. She handed out 25 washable sanitary pads to the young ladies who attended and gave them an informative talk on how they can look after themselves during their period, the importance of being kinder to one another and staying in school so they can achieve their dream careers. This initiative created a safe space for these young girls as they felt comfortable to ask questions about menstruation health, the issues they face in school and figuring out their way as young women.🌺 Windybrow thanks Mooniba and D.A.R.E for this generous donation and for starting the conversation about menstruation health and period poverty.👏
