Osireditse Cultural Heritage Skills - OCHES Foundation

Innovate! & Create! - From your cultural perspective

African Cultural heritage skills are abundant in society, but are rarely conceptualised, acknowledged and utilized. Thus the foundation gives you the baton to protect cultural heritage and exhibit its relevance in modern day society's facets of life. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU APPROACHED MODERN IDEAS FROM YOUR CULTURAL STANDPOINT?? Our cultural

aspects have a potential to enable us to uplift ourselves while at the same time building and nurturing our psycho-social being that then cement our cultural identities into small spaces, social groups, personal being, landscapes, villages, country and the entire global world. When we approach life from our cultural base as our point of departure, we are automatically cementing that development within a group's intellect and skills reserves. Thus such innovation always emanate from a strong place that embraces all and lead to the building of sustainable communities. Therefore OCHES Foundation's main philosophy and approach is to entice and encourage learning from a community's traditional and cultural intellect, lifestyles and skills and innovate towards modernity from that perspective. OCHES Foundation identify the following as key:

>>to bring awareness on how people can tap and leverage into traditional being and systems, as well as cultural heritage knowledge and skills to get through modern lifestyles needs.
>>To bring out ways through which life challenges can be alleviated through traditional and cultural knowledge systems and skills.
