On the 19th March 2012 the Steve Biko Foundation and the Amathole Museum hosted an Information Session with history educators from Alice, Fort Beaufort, Idutywa, East London, Stutterheim and King William’s Town. The seminar started with a tour of the Eastern Cape Legislature, House of Traditional Leaders, The Steve Biko Garden of Remembrance and The Steve Biko Monument. After the site visits the session was held inside the museum followed by views of archival materials including a rare interview given by Bantu Stephen Biko, the Cry Freedom Trial Scene and a Max Du Preez-TRC Interview about Biko.

The session was held in order to;
• Create a platform for Educators teaching Grade 12 to familiarise themselves with heritage sites situated in and around King Williams Town;
• Give an opportunity to the educators to share their own personal experiences in teaching history and heritage;
• Introduce them to the Provincial History Planner Miss Y. Nciza and two Senior Markers Mr. Rebe and Miss L. Fili who also shared their experiences and offered advice on how to master history teaching and prepare for examinations.

The session is a partnership between the Steve Biko Foundation, the Amathole Museum and the Eastern Cape Department of Education, under the Legacy Support Programme. Further sessions are in the initial stages of planning.

From April 6th to 7th 2012, the Steve Biko Centre, an initiative of the Steve Biko Foundation, will host the second Ginsberg Easter Festival, “Resurrecting the Village Spirit” around the streets of Ginsberg Township, King William’s Town.

The Steve Biko Centre’s Ginsberg Easter Festival is an annual program of the Centre’s Performing Arts and Culture Programme. The Festival is designed as an event to promote community participation and to build the bonds of community by raising the spirit of communalism among the audience.

The festival will take its audience on a journey of self-realization and discovery, a process described by Steve Biko himself as the quest for a true humanity. The production is shaped by popular symbols, images, and communal voices. The voyage will explore the collective stories, popular memories and history of the region; using them as a platform for reflection on today’s pressing issues, by resurrecting the spirit of the Eastern Cape from its historic landscape to the contemporary urban village.

Alongside dialogues, dance, images, poetry, and evocative movement will be a storytelling session for children. Interdisciplinary and site specific performances presented by leading local artists. The festival is presented in partnership with the British Council of South Africa, the Ginsberg Taxi Association, Lovedale College Drama Department (Alice –Campus), the Remix Dance Company, Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality, the South African Police Service, the Eastern Cape Provincial Arts and Culture Council, Township Times and Trufm
