The Hlanganaani Learning Partnership is linked both formally and informally to a number of organisations whose aim is to explore global issues, develop global citizenship and foster cultural and educational collaborations locally and in different parts of the world :

  • Cheney School, Oxford – Creative Partnerships Enquiry School project with TAKS (Through Art Keep Smiling) Community Arts Centre in Uganda
  • Bishop Simeon Trust: the Trust’s work stretches across three of South Africa’s nine provinces – Gauteng, Mpumalanga and North West – focusing on education, health and welfare and community development through training. BST’s mission is to overcome the social, economic and educational legacy of apartheid, with the aim of providing support and help to the most severely disadvantaged communities.
  • Reading International Solidarity Centre: we have worked closely with RISC in developing understanding of global citizenship, specifically for schools involved in the Creative Partnerships programme and also for volunteers, artists and youth workers. The resources they provide are invaluable for supporting international partnerships in a wide range of contexts
  • Fezeka High School in Gugulethu, Cape Town, South Africa has a magnificent choir led by the inspirational Phumi Tsewu. They have already achieved an unprecedented level of success and supporetd by the UK-based voluntary organisation All Living Things are hoping to make their second visit to the Uk in 2012. Their amazing film, Fezeka’s Voice, is being shown in various locations here and in South Africa, to spread the word and to raise funds for the choir. See News section and Fezeka’s Voice for more details.
  • Waddesdon School has developed a unit of creative work on the theme of identity, which will form the basis of a learning resource to be published by the Bishop Simeon Trust in 2013. Much of Hlanganani’s past work will be drawn on and we hope the resource wil be used widely across the UK and in South Africa, in order to encourage curriculum-based partnerships and global understanding.
