#RSIC 2017, days 3 and 4

Tuesday 3 October

The day started with a thrilling talk from Jason Drew, who guided us, with examples through jobs in the future, those not yet invented. He gave examples of today like UBER and Airbnb but went on to describe his own business, as both a capitalist and environmentalist where he has the world’s largest fly farm in South Africa as part of an initiative to produce sustainable feed for chicken and fish  He proved a great inspiration to the student delegates as he encouraged them to solve problems; those that the older generation have created as well new ones.

Barazza discussion groups then followed and then later the rehearsal took place for the same evening’s cultural evening where schools may demonstrate something about their country. The girls danced a chacarera…a great success as Florencia sang and the other four girls danced. It was very well received by all.

Wednesday 4 October

We are all split up into different adventure groups as we explore the area around this lovely school on foot. There are seven walks of different degrees of difficulty. Later a farewell party/dance will take place for the delegates, while the adults will be taken out for dinner. Tomorrow will see the conference’s closing ceremony and then our departure to Cape Town in preparation for our early flight on Friday, that will see us leave at 6.10am and arrive in BA the same day at 9.05pm…tiring!
