Scriptorium, in essence, is a space where research and storytelling intersect. It is a time-space event where research morphs into storytelling and where storytelling transforms into research.
To provide a multi-purpose, multi-dimensional, and interdisciplinary education, development, and research centre that produces, innovatively transforms, and reapplies research data from the field of existential sciences.
Research and storytelling, simply put, are searching for answers and solutions that contribute to storytelling’s transformative power.
It is an omnidirectional movement – always in flux and ever-evolving.
CURRENT PROJECTS
At the Scriptorium Research and Storytelling Centre, our projects are rooted in the belief that education, development, and research are powerful tools for transforming lives and communities. Through innovative programs, community-driven initiatives, and rigorous research, we aim to foster inclusive learning environments, support sustainable development, and preserve the rich tapestry of human stories and knowledge. Our work bridges traditional wisdom and contemporary inquiry, empowering individuals to shape their futures through education and storytelling.
Nolitha's Crèche
Nolitha Gwele has dedicated her time to caring for and educating children since 2000 at her Crèche in Kayamandi. With assistance from friends, like Brandina Mbaya (who reached out on her behalf), her daughters, and the parents who can afford the monthly fee (which is very low), they have been managing to make do, however, they now need urgent assistance.
Anje's Rehab
On the 2nd of March 2024, at the age of 15, Anje Bezuidenhout broke the Gauteng High Jump Record of 1.70m (U/17) by jumping 1.74m, making her qualify for the SA’s. Days later, on the 7th of March 2024, her life would change drastically when she was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS).
Cycling for Students
This project is dedicated to raising funds for students struggling to make ends meet. Our focus is mainly, but not exclusively, on Stellenbosch students. We know how expensive it is to live and study in Stellenbosch and wish to help wherever possible.
