In our surveys, students have identified the cafeteria as the place where divisions are most clearly drawn. So on the last Tuesday in October each school year, we ask students to move out of their comfort zones and connect with someone new over lunch. It’s a simple act with profound implications. Studies have shown that interactions across group lines can help reduce prejudice.

  • Ethical Framework & Criteria For
    ETHICAL FRAMEWORK & CRITERIA FOR PARTICIPATION IN MANDELA DAY The world remains beset by so much human suffering, poverty and deprivation. It is in your hands……to make of our world…a better one for all – Nelson Mandela, 2008. A. Background: The Nelson Mandela Foundation launcheda global movement for good in honour and celebration of Nelson Mandela’s life and legacy. The United Nations adopted 18 July, the late Nelson Mandela’s birthday , as an annual international day. The campaign call to action is simple: Take Action. Inspire Change. Make everyMandela Day celebrates the potential that each individual has to transform the world - we are inspired by the example that Madiba has set for us: each of us taking responsibility for ourselves and acting on the responsibility we have to others. To become part of the Mandela Day movement, all that is required is an action that helps change the lives of people for the better. To ensure that their actions have lasting benefits, they should with and within communities, always strive to leave behind not only physical changes but also a sense of empowerment, helping to build pride amongst those communities so that they can take charge of their destinies and change their circumstances. The cumulative actions of people, even if it is one small step at a time, can become a transformative momentum. Mandela Day is the initiative of the Nelson Mandela Foundation and its sister organizations, the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund and the Mandela Rhodes Foundation EtHIcal RequIrements: General In line with the ethos underpinning the campaign (which is all year round to make every day a Mandela Day), people and organisations are free to organize and partner as they wish provided that their activities fall within the ethical framework of “service to one’s fellow human” and the Foundation encourages these to be effective, sustainable, consistent, empowering and above all to realize and/or restore human dignity.

  • Statement by H.E. Ambassador Bankole Adeoye, AU Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace and Security, on Nelson Mandela Day, Sunday 18 July 2021
    AFRICAN UNION UNION AFRICAINE UNIÃO AFRICANA Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, P.O. Box: 3243 Tel.: (251-11) 5513 822 Fax: (251-11) 5519 321 Email: [email protected] Statement by H.E. Ambassador Bankole Adeoye, AU Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace and Security, on Nelson Mandela Day, Sunday 18 July 2021 Addis Ababa, Sunday 18 July 2021 – Today’s celebration to mark Nelson Mandela Day is critical given the context we find ourselves in, fighting a global pandemic whose effects have magnified existing fault lines and crises. The epidemic has made it challenging to meet the demands of social and economic justice. With many livelihoods burdened by daily hardships amidst conflict and instability, we must act to embrace peaceful means to conflict resolution. In light of today’s occasion, we pay homage to President Mandela’s life and reflect on our ability to have a positive effect in our communities and continent. In doing so we recognise our power as individuals to make a difference. Today we reflect on the decade 2014-2024 which is themed Madiba Nelson Mandela Decade of Reconciliation in Africa. Its adoption is an expression of the commitment of our Heads of State and Government to promote and protect human and peoples’ rights in Africa. As a champion of change, President Mandela was instrumental in reconciliation efforts and inspired Africans to unite and confront challenges. His love for his continent encourages us to change attitudes and ensure peaceful coexistence. As we forge onward in implementing the Madiba Nelson Mandela Decade for Reconciliation in Africa, today’s festivities motivate us to remain active citizens and agents of the change we want to see.
