Amava Oluntu

Amava Oluntu Amava Oluntu is a grassroot organisation based in Cape Town, South Africa. Topics: Empowerment, Dialogue, Participatory Video. Oluntu means of the people.

We create spaces that encourage reconnection of individuals to themselves, each other and the natural world. Amava is isiXhosa for experience, as in the life wisdom and knowledge that one accumulates from birth through every learning encounter along the way. From parents, from grandparents, from ancestors. From communities, from schools, from places of worship. Amava Oluntu is a collective of indi

viduals working together to create spaces of learning that honour our differences and recognize the multiple forms of wisdom we all have to share with each other; spaces where through the sharing of our individual experiences, we equip each other with the skills and knowledge to create more resilient and inspired individuals and communities.

We hosted a seed paper-making workshop inside Vrygrond Peace Garden with parents & guardians while their children participated in some free play! We also embedded indigenous seeds in the paper that will soon be part of growing their own indigenous gardens!

We spent the day at Cecelia Forest for a nature immersion session with the Vrygrond Peace Garden Team. We created a nature mandala, meditated and bonded as a team, to connect with ourselves, enabling us to work even better with our communities.
A big thank you to Thandi for leading this session
