I haven’t been engaged in the GS (both in participation or intellectually) in weeks. Today was no different, despite the final presentations. Or should I say the sacrifice of the final presentations for publicity and personal gratification.
The GS has such potential if only it had a team behind it that was dedicated to something other than their own egos and partying. It is amazing how if you attach yourself to the current development buzzword how you will be given funding. In this case, the money is used to fuel the egos of a handful of people at the expense of the students and the communities the program sets out to help. We had to jump through so many hoops to get R4000 to fund the event that ultimately promoted the GS but the closing party had a budget of R6000.
Perhaps the GS should only choose cite cities in the developed world where there is a lack of any real developmental problems. I think this will increase the chances of ‘success’ for the studio.
