BOOTCAMP: UNLEASH YOUR CREATIVITY

Join us in this immersive bootcamp experience that's not just about learning but also about

empowering your creative journey. At Jikela Studios, we're on a mission to build a cutting-edge music school that nurtures future creative leaders through art, culture, entrepreneurship, and talent development programs.

 

We don't just teach – we inspire. Our approach, rooted in "Self Determination Theory," helps you become a resilient, self-aware, and self-efficacious agent of change. We equip you with the entrepreneurial, psychosocial, and technical skills and mind-set needed to secure employment or become a successful entrepreneur.

 

If you're an artist or creative seeking growth, this bootcamp is tailor-made for you. Immerse

yourself in hands-on experiences like creating a stunning portfolio with our pop-up photo shoot booth and recording studio, guided by renowned photographers, sound engineers, and artists. Gain insights from a music branding workshop featuring your favourite local, national, and international artists.

 

We recognize that not everyone excels academically, but creativity knows no bounds. Our goal is to foster resilience, self-awareness, and self-efficacy, enabling you to break free from the constraints of poverty and its traumas while building a sustainable career in art.

 

Don't miss this opportunity to transform your creative aspirations into reality. Join us at Jikela Studios and unlock your full potential.

A community with over 2 million residents, Khayelitsha is one of the most marginalized and poverty- stricken townships in South Africa. The unemployment rate in Khayelitsha officially stands at a staggering 54.1% and in reality, the figure is unfortunately higher.

 

Many of whom are graduates in the entertainment and media industries. The lack of safe spaces, hubs and resources to develop and groom young people in Khayelitsha has left the youth falling into drugs, crime, gangsterism and teenage pregnancy.

 

With creatives bringing in international tourists to enjoy the experience of what it means to live in the township, Khayelitsha still stands to have the potential to run its own economy through art and innovative entrepreneurial opportunities.

Like many townships in South Africa, Khayelitsha has so much talent to be shared with the world. We at Jikela Studios want to ensure that these talents and gifts do not remain unseen and disappeared into obscurity

 

With the lack of art and music schools in townships, including Khayelitsha, this fundraiser will appeal to 54% of unemployed youth.
