NELM EDUCATION AND PUBLIC PROGRAMMES: 2014 / 15
Nelm aims to play its part through its education and public progammes. In – house educational programmes, as well as mobile services are offered in order to enrich the diverse South African communities from various backgrounds. These programmes enable learners, teachers and members of the community to meaningfully engage in issues affecting their daily lives, developments and their well-beings in order to better their livelihood.
Nelm mainly utilises its collection to achieve its goals. The huge collection of books include children’s’ stories, journals, press clipping and the massive database enable Nelm to deepen the nation’s understanding of literary heritage.
Permanent, temporary and travelling Exhibitions are also part of the endeavours to encourage schools and communities to use the Nelm spaces for discussions, debates and social cohesion.
National public holidays such as Human Rights Day, and other commemorative days such as the World Book Day, World Press Freedom Day and International Museum Day are also used to enable South Africans to reflect and imagine where we come from, where we are now and where we want to be in the future as a rainbow nation.
The numerous camps are aiming at ensuring that learners spend some of their weekends, public holidays and school holidays in a fun, but edutainment environment. The camps incorporate heritage studies, especially literary heritage, as well as life skills.
