WITT Tellers hosts Farnebo Folk High School from Sweden

The Nhimbe WiTT’s Tellers the Musical cast hosted eleven students from Farnebo Folk High School. The Swedish students were on a cultural exchange visit, courtesy of the Rural Libraries and Resources Development Programme(RLRDP). The Swedes were treated to a full performance of Tellers, which was followed by an interactive discussion on art, culture, economics and the status of women in the arts and society in Sweden and Zimbabwe.

"Culture takes diverse forms across time and space. This diversity is embodied in the uniqueness and plurality of the identities of the groups and societies making up humankind. As a source of exchange, innovation and creativity, cultural diversity is as necessary for humankind as biodiversity is for nature. In this sense, it is the common heritage of humanity and should be recognized and affirmed for the benefit of present and future generation." (UNESCO Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity).
