Amava Oluntu is a grassroot organisation based in Cape Town, South Africa. We create spaces that encourage reconnection of individuals to themselves, each other and the natural world. Topics: Empowerment, Dialogue, Participatory Video.
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. Oluntu means of the people.
Amava Oluntu is a collective of individuals 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.
