With 640 unique productions in 14 genres presented in 50 venues in and around Stellenbosch, the Toyota SU Woordfees is one of the biggest arts festivals in Africa. The 2023 programme embodies the effervescent festival theme, Borrel (bubble in English), in various ways. “Borrel” is the Dutch word for party, and it immediately brings the sparkling bubbles of Cap Classique made in the Boland to mind. The theme also alludes to breaking out of your bubble to be challenged or inspired by exploring new perspectives.
This year’s festival programme offers a rich variety of opportunities not only to escape into worlds of beauty, humour and drama but also to reflect on the complexity of our realities.
EasyEquities and WOW join hands
EasyEquities is partnering with the WOW (Words Open Worlds) Project to contribute to WOW bursaries for first-generation students and to encourage young people to take charge of their financial future by starting to use the EasyEquities app.
WOW is an empowerment project of the Woordfees which celebrates their 20th birthday this year. WOW facilitates creative programmes focused on promoting language, literature and the arts in schools and communities to broaden learners and educators’ horizons. The project also provides prospective students with information about tertiary education, and WOW Bursaries from Stellenbosch University are awarded to talented candidates.
The WOW EasyEquities initiative invites the public to create a profile on the EasyEquities app by using a special QR code. For each profile that is created via the code, EasyEquities provides the new user with R50 for investment, while also donating an additional R50 to the WOW Bursary.
