25. Culture, Society, and the Developing Economy in South Africa Prof. Cheryl Kirschner; Prof. Mary Pinard The primary work while on the ground in South Africa is to teach entrepreneurship in townships and rural areas to high school students who are still living in disadvantaged conditions resulting from the apartheid system. Babson students will partner with Stellenbosch University students to teach two week-long courses to youth on their Winter Break who are interested in learning how to start a small business in order to work toward economic empowerment. The relationships built during these teaching experiences have been described by previous students as “life-altering” and “transformative.” We will visit Cape Town for a weekend trip to visit sites such as Table Mountain, Robben Island (where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years), and the Cape Coast, and we will end our trip with a safari in the north of the country, near Kruger National Park.
