IKWEZI YOUTH THEATRE DEVELOPMENT
Today we spoke to Samson Faleni from the Ikwezi Youth Theatre Development about what they are doing in the community.
Ikwezi Youth Theatre development which is fully aware that today's world presents, variety problems to children and young people, particularly concerning culture and education and later, in the working environment the "Global Village" has become the 
definition of the 21st century.
This reality has a huge impact on both collective and individual identity. In such a situation identity can either be destroyed or enhanced and shared on an equal basis. The encountering of cultures and the understanding and acceptance that can grow from this can lead to amore open, tolerant and harmonious global village.
Cultural awareness, beyond our historical barriers, needs to be acquired by each and every one of us. Children and young people who do not have a privilege of a broad education need the influence of and contact with those who not only have a broad education but also have the vision and ability to show them that there are no limits. It is only them that they will be meeting and sharing information with other standing on an equal ground.
Through the creation and organization of specific short or long term projects integrating one or more of our expertise we shall expose children and young people to the diversity of cultural and conventional knowledge. By this we do not mean only the arts but als
o a broader sense of culture, history, contemporary trends, the evaluation of cultural encounter, interaction and sharing and inter- cultural communication.
Using music/percussion, dance, movement, oral and written expression visual arts and crafts as measn towards the end of self expression, self confidence and cultural interaction with others, we hope instil self and collective awareness within children and young people who participate in our programs
