Ravi Naidoo to inspire Matie students at Frederik van Zyl Slabbert Institute’s 2DO Talk
Mr Ravi Naidoo, founder and managing director of Interactive Africa and known for marketing South Africa’s bid to host the 2010 Football World Cup, is the speaker at the first 2DO Talk, an initiative of the Frederik van Zyl Slabbert Institute for Student Leadership Development (FVZS Institute) at Stellenbosch University (SU), on Thursday night.
Naidoo is also the founder of the Design Indaba and managed the First African in Space mission.
The 2DO (To Develop/Ontwikkel) Programme was launched in 2011, focussing on second year Stellenbosch University students who find themselves in an untapped leadership space between the institutional support provided for first years and the various platforms for senior students to serve as positional leaders.
“The 2DO Programme seeks to support, motivate and develop second year students in order to bridge this leadership gap and invest in our leaders of tomorrow,” says Mr Lloyd Blake, Programme Manager of the FVZS Institute. “In this regard we excited about Ravi coming to Stellenbosch to not only inspire the students but also to call them to action.”
In subsequent months, second years students will be provided the opportunity to partake in multiple skills development workshops including themes such as understanding diversity, self-awareness and public speaking. A signature learning experience (SLE) programme will run in conjunction to the skills training where groups of students will be given the opportunity to participation in small group conversations with student and staff leaders, prominent Stellenbosch business figures and ‘industry captains’, social entrepreneurs as well as international student groups in order to provide the space for exposure to different possibilities, environments and networks, explains Blake.
