UP2US
UP2US aims to create communities of young UPstanders across South Africa who stand up for good, begin to DO things that make a difference in their schools, communities and country and actively spread the message of UP2US by encouraging others to take part in .
An UPstander is someone who chooses to take a positive stand and act on behalf of themselves and others.
UP2US centres around an interactive, multimedia production that explores issues of identity, prejudice, values and what it means to be an active citizen. The multimedia production is the key to inspiring and empowering young people to do good and spread the message of UP2US virally.
Up2Us features voices and inspiration from young people as well as from celebrities like Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Connie Ferguson, Ahmed Kathrada, Bobby Skinstad, Elana Afrika, HHP and The Parlotones.
One of the founders of Freshlyground has produced a theme song for Up2Us bringing together three diverse musicians. Participants will engage with their story of what it meant to come together to create a song of unity, hope and inspiration.
