Over the past few weeks we have been working on a very creative project
and due to Nelson Mandela's death in December, the project was Mandela
related. In remembrance of him and the beautiful batik silk shirts he
used to wear, we designed our own Madiba shirts with the learners. We
ended the term with a little fashion show on the 12th of November where
the learners presented their shirts and decided to donate the shirts to
the nearby orphanage “Home of Joy"

This term's Madiba Project is about the colourful shirts that Nelson Mandela used to wear.
We started the project with some introductory sessions on who originally designed the shirts and how Mandela came to wear them. We looked at the different colours and patterns and discussed their meanings in several blog posts. The next step was to design and paint our own shirts based on what we had learned before.
To mark the end of the academical year, we will end the term with a little fashion show where our learners will present their shirts and vote upon the best.
