INTERNATIONAL YOUTH CAMP

International Camp in Germany

South Africa and Germany share a similar history of segregation and racial segregation because of one’s colour, identity as well as culture. Taking into account the stature of South Africa and Nelson Mandela after 1994 about reconciliation and social cohesion, it was against this background that South African learners through the Nelson Mandela Museum, were invited to be part of the International Youth Camp in Germany. The main objective of the camp is to groom young leaders, expose them to the social ills and dangers of NAZI ideology in Germany as well as Apartheid in South Africa. This is also about social cohesion and nation building so that the present and future generation would not repeat the mistakes made by the generations before them. Students also get exposed to a variety of cultures as students who participate in the camp come from different social and cultural backgrounds. During this camp learners also get the opportunity to visit the concentration camps where people were tortured and died. They also get the opportunity to listen to moving and harrowing testimonies of the survivors of the concentration camps and brutality of the NAZI.
