  Welcome to Amawele!

Amawele facilitates the ‘twinning’ of schools in Ireland with their counterparts in the Western Cape,  Eastern Cape and Kwazulu Natal provinces of South Africa. Through a range of projects and programmes, students and teachers are able to explore the culture and experience of life in their respective countries.

Amawele means "twins" in the Nguni languages of South Africa.

When a school builds a partnership with a school in another culture, it gains access to a whole new range of ideas, thoughts and experiences.  Amawele is fostering a greater awareness of global issues, through real people and real experiences. This enrichment benefits pupils and teachers from both communities - culturally, morally and socially.

Life is about people. Amawele’s school twinning programme is about celebrating young people’s lives, broadening their horizons and fostering global citizenship.
