Student Leadership Forum organized by Springfield Convent Senior School
We had an interview with Emma Selfe head of the Student Representative Council at Springfield, it was her initiative to come up with this Forum. She will be one of the students attending the Student Leadership Forum organized by Springfield Convent Senior School.
On Tuesday 5th May at 4.00pm, student leaders from 40 Cape Town schools will meet to make their voices heard to South African leaders about the key issues facing the youth of today. Following the conference, the group will present a declaration on these issues to the Speaker of Parliament for discussion in Youth Parliament.
The event, organized by the Student Representative Council of Springfield Convent Senior School, will feature Helen Zille as the key note speaker in her capacity as incoming Premier of the Western Cape.
Other speakers will help the group to explore the three key global challenges of poverty and inequality, war and conflict and global warming and climate change.
These speakers are: Nomfundo Walaza: CEO of Desmond Tutu Peace Foundation (War and Conflict), Charles Maisel: Co-founder of “Men at the side of the Road” Foundation (Poverty and Inequality) and Suzanne Carter: Representative for Environment Conservation at the British Consulate.
In the wake of the recent elections and a revived interest in politics among the youth, it is hoped that this conference will give pupils a platform through which to make a contribution to shaping the future of South Africa.
