Inanda youth Centre is situated at the Inanda Newtown A, the purpose of it establishment was to attract the youth of Inanda to take HIV tests and to offer the help simply because they were not taking advantage of the facilities that are offered at the local clinic. Some of the reasons behind not taking advantage of the clinic facilities are that the youth of the area is not comfortable with attending the same public centres with adults.

13th TIME OF THE WRITER
Posted on 24 February 2010 by Betsie
International Writers Festival – Durban: 9 13 March 2010
The written word will envelop Durban as writers from around South Africa and Africa arrive in Durban for a stimulating week of books, ideas and talk at the 13th Time of the Writer International Writers Festival (9-13 March). The festival, which is hosted by the Centre for Creative Arts (University of KwaZulu- Natal), will feature a diverse gathering of novelists, short story writers, humour writers and political commentators. Within a precarious funding climate the Department of Arts and Culture has provided valued core support to make the production of this year’s Time of the Writer possible and thereby help sustain this important platform which brings literature into the public domain. Time of the Writer will also host a tribute evening to the life, creativity and activism of the late Dennis Brutus as the culmination of a full-day colloquium organised by the Centre for Civil Society (UKZN).

Posted on 22 February 2010 by Betsie
Integrating the knowledge of indigenous Zulu medicinal plants into the teaching of chemistry is under investigation by Fulbright scholar Deshi Moodley, now a science education lecturer at the faculty of education at the University of KwaZulu-Natal.
Moodley’s study, which she says will take three years, integrates indigenous knowledge of Zulu medicinal plants into the teaching of school-level chemistry and was discussed during the Southern African Association for Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education annual meeting on the Edgewood campus last month.

City Cultures Seminar: DURBAN SINGS
Posted on 18 February 2010 by Betsie
DURBAN SINGS is a pilot project collaboratively initiated and collectively developed by Molefi Mafareka Ndlovu, community research scholar at the Centre for Civil Society (CCS, UKZN), and Dr. Claudia Wegener, a visiting scholar from the University of the Arts London (UAL), together with 50 young people from 12 Durban community organizations, many of them now trained and networked as editorial collectives of audio producers for micro-media hubs in their local organizations and areas.
The project has a base at the university as a CCS outreach initiative - it includes training and workshops for recording, interview, audio-editing, oral history and IT skills; oral history data-collection, on-line and off-line archiving, project management, public presentations, networking, blog-editing, and broadcasts. An extensive on-line audio archive is uploaded at www.archive.org; and collections of oral history interviews from Clermont, Folweni, Inanda, Ntuzuma, Marianridge, Mzinyathi, Umlazi and the inner city are networked via their own blogs, the ‘switch-board’ blog at www.durbansings.wordpress.com and a ‘community portal’ at the CCS web-site: http://www.ukzn.ac.za/ccs/default.asp?11,62
