South Africa calling!

An exciting new partnership between Key Change Music and Multicultural Arts Victoria has enabled 13 young people of various cultural heritages to travel to South Africa on an educational tour.

From Johannesburg, Cape Town to Durban they explored the depths of a complex cultural history from tradition, invasion and the long fight for freedom.

The 5 key youth participants (Chinese/Vietnamese, Sudanese, First Nation Australian and Anglo-Australian) met with ex political prisoners, attended classes at a Zulu school, made new friends while confronting and breaking down the cultural barriers they were challenged with along the way.
