This year’s theme:
Marking 30 years of Democracy in South Africa
Closing date for entries: Friday 26 July, 3pm

The aim of this project is:
- To learn about the fragility of democracy historically and today, and how to safeguard human rights for future generations in South Africa.
- To be active participants in the process of remembering South Africa’s past, while highlighting our milestones as well as our challenges as a young democracy.
- To work towards creating a more caring and just society in which human rights and diversity are respected and valued.
The project encourages cross-curricular study. Educators may choose to use the topic as an activity for learners’ portfolios in any subject.
