13 February - Arts, Culture and Evironmental

On today’s show, we heard from Petra Vandecasteele – from Kids of Nature. Kids of Nature is an organisation that addresses the problem of Nature Deficit Disorder, which means the alienation of children from their natural environment, which could result in emotional imbalance, violence, mismanagement of natural resources and climate change. They contribute to building a generation of well-balanced and globally responsible decision makers. For more information you can contact her on (021) 856 5683 or send an email to petra@kidsofnature.org alternatively visit www.kidsofnature.org

Nigel Vermaas – Our Arts fundi was here to tell us what’s hot and what’s not in the art sector.

We closed off the show with an interview with Shane Mafuto – from the G-Force Arts and Culture Development Programme. At G-Force they work with the youth of Atlantis and surrounding rural areas, in order to improve member achievement and develop a culture of positive attitude. For more information you can contact him on 078 016 2998 or Mr Japie Van Zyl on 082 056 4604.
