A District Diversity Committee was launched at District Conference in 2018 and since then, members of the committee have been hard at work organising and facilitating conversations around the topic of diversity in Rotary. When we talk about diversity, we mean diversity of vocation, skills, gender, interest, ethnicity, religion and much, much more. Our guiding question is "How can we make sure that, whatever your background and context, you feel like there is a place in Rotary for you?"

The team have recently taken the conversation a step further and have started filming a Diverse People of Action video. This video will be distributed to clubs and serve as a tool to start, facilitate and drive discussions around diversity and how we can continue to co-create and organisation that is strong because we are all different. 

 

Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time to join us for this on-camera discussion and watch this space for more exciting developments!

 

Rotary Am Kap were blessed to invite all kids and all teachers from their Signature Project, the Hangberg Pre-Primary School in Hout Bay, Hangberg Educational Trust to the Cape Town Aquarium for a day visit! It was such a great feeling to see over 90 kids and 15 teachers having such a joyful day - seeing and nearly touching sharks live, exploring the sea life as well as a very well organized kids show at the Two Oceans Aquarium. All kids behaved very very well - thanks to Tania and her amazing team!
