They will give a talk on the right to basic education, as well as sexual violence. The Wits Citizenship and Community Outreach (WCCO) office has been conducting the Global Citizens for Social Justice co-curricular programme with students from various faculties. This is the second time this year that SECTION27 has been invited to facilitate a discussion around our work areas.
This program was designed to create an opportunity for students and professionals to engage with real issues that affect communities on a daily basis, so that together we can develop awareness around these issues and discuss different solutions going forward. This programme also facilitates discussions around how students can get involved in different projects or internship programmes.
