AFS in South Africa has also been instrumental in setting up an intra-Africa changemaking programme for AFS volunteers across the continent.

 In March 2015, AFS South Africa ran a 12-day programme based in Kliptown, Soweto. The aims of the programme were to promote regional integration, encourage changemaking, and to link both of these to AFS’s statement of purpose “to create a more just and peaceful world”.

 There were three streams of content throughout the programme:

• Changemaking – Basic changemaking theory, plus each country group developed a changemaking project to implement on their return home.

• Development Issues – Language, Youth Issues, Gender Issues – The issues were raised through visits to local organisations but also looked at common issues across countries.

• A more just and peaceful world – Human Origins, Freedom and Democracy, Regional Integration, Migration and Xenophobia, An Empowering Constitution – This was introduced through a variety of visits and, again, issues were looked at from a South African perspective and related to the situations in the other countries.)

 Participants stayed with host families in South African communities and were given the opportunity to explore those communities throughout the programme.
