Cape Town - Second day of Festival training

Today we enjoyed some wonderful weather in Cape Town - sunny and warm, just what we needed for today. Jo led us through some training on what there is to do after Open Crowd festivals and how to develop a movement, which was very interesting material as we saw how we were just the beginning of what could be a movement here in South Africa.

At lunch we were treated to a South African braai (barbeque) and were joined by the local youth group. It was a fun time of meeting new people, eating great food, and watching soccer on the big screen together. There were even some centre games going outside with one of the highlights being the line dance we taught those from the youth group.
In the evening we held a community tea, inviting friends of Fusion from around the local area. Like most of the afternoon, we had a great time of socialising, playing some active team-building activities, and eating some yummy food. To finish off a fantastic day, we sat around the big screen and watched Bafana Bafana (the South African soccer team) play Uruguay.

Tomorrow we start our first festivals in three communities - Atlantis, Athlone, and Red Hill. Stay tuned to hear some stories from the festivals tomorrow..
