Financed by the European Union (EU) and in partnership with numerous other EU beneficiaries, the EU Bushfire Schools Festival brings each year together over 600 high school learners from around the country “to introduce them to the many languages of the art” as CNN puts it. 

The short CNN Inside Africa video accessible here: https://youtu.be/SA--YgsemSo also notes that “Empowerment is at the core, with creativity as a tool for agency, advocacy and future employability.” – And this narrative reflects beautifully the essence of the EU’s current intervention priorities in Eswatini, under our revised bilateral Multiannual Indicate Program 2021-2027.
