Take a look at day 2 of our #EverythingMustChange summit!

Today's topics dealt with a broad range of themes including community-building, youth-led research, policing in schools, and the inequalities in education funding.

Take a look at yesterday's Day 1 of our #EverythingMustChange summit!

[BottomUp @bottomupsd]

We were joined by incredible individuals who led sessions on student-led activism, climate justice, capitalism, art, gender and race. The students grappled with big issues, engaging with how these intersect with their lives.

We are incredibly excited to be hosting our second annual youth summit at the Desmond and Leah Tutu Foundation this year. #savethedate #EducationMatters #criticaleducation #reimagineourschools #capetown

We are camping with students this weekend! High schoolers are immersing themselves in the topic of racialised capitalism and killing it!

@bottomupsd is always such a treasure trove of just sitting in the room with these minds and thinkers and processors who really understand the deeper happenings of the country and economy and politics and just hoping some will rub off on me via osmosis.

@BrettFishA Thanks for mentioning us. Critical education is vital for a thriving democracy in which everyone is able to participate. Many of the social issues we face in society also cannot be resolved without an understanding of how power works.
