The past months have seen a dramatic increase in the level of violence in South Africa against foreign nationals. This prompted the Hanns Seidel Foundation and the Namibia Institute of Democracy to hold a public forum discussion at Katutura Community Arts Center.

The Eeconomic Association of Namibia, supported by the Hanns Seidel Foundation, hosted a public discussion at the Avani Hotel under the topic “Recovering from the economic downturn”. The event took place on the 4thSeptember 2019 and was met by a great turn out and a positive insight discussion.

The Hanns Seidel Foundation and the Namibia Institute for Democracy conducted a civic education programme for students at Otjikondo Primary School and Otavi Khorab Secondary school. The agenda of the civic programme was to teach the learners about Namibia governance processes, impart skills to enable them to actively participate in democratic space as well as educate them about their rights.
