Programme themes
Four core themes — each grounded in Cape Town’s position at the intersection of African, Global South, and global narratives. Every theme can be adapted around your curriculum.
Platform economies, mobile-first innovation, tech entrepreneurship, and the politics of connectivity in the Global South. Site visits to Cape Town startups and innovation hubs.
Journalism, storytelling, and the media landscape in post-apartheid South Africa. Engage with local newsrooms, community media producers, and digital content creators.
Cape Town as a case study for understanding development, inequality, and urban transformation. Interdisciplinary engagement with economists, urbanists, and activists.
From the anti-apartheid movement to contemporary social justice struggles. Includes Robben Island, District Six Museum, and civil society organisations.
Across all themes
Every CGC programme is anchored in the physical and social geography of Cape Town. Learning happens in the city — through field visits, community engagement, expert practitioners, and site-specific workshops.
