How it works + What we do

UBUNTU: an innate sense of collective responsibility - "I am because we are"...

Delegates have the opportunity to experience and learn activities that give them a real taste of the spice and spirit of the culture in an African Village.

We associate Africa with the dynamic, earthy rhythms of tribal drums and a strong sense of community (Ubuntu). What many people don’t realise is that - in Africa – there is never drumming without song, or song without dance; the elements are inextricable and all inclusive. Everybody belongs, everybody has a part to play – regardless of age and ability.

Delegates rotate between 45 / 60 minute workshops learning:

• Drumming and percussion
• Dance
• Harmony singing
• Art/ mask-making

The finale is an orchestrated performance - set against the backdrop of all the art and design work, where drummers, singers and dancers join in a collective celebration that is 'Ubuntu' at work.
