The Simunye Show

Simunye

The Simunye (We Are One) Show is a podcast where researchers, artists, entrepreneurs, and community builders discuss their journey through the lens of social capital — the seen and unseen impact our connections have on our lives.

Simunye is a social capital initiative by non-profit school, Christel House South Africa in partnership with the Julius Baer Foundation. The programme connects 12 schools from across the wealth spectrum in the Western Cape, building bridges across the wealth divide. The model focuses on developing deep connections in smaller groups, by rotating and directly experiencing each other’s schools. The direct contact along with our incorporated social capital curriculum helps students develop the necessary tools to be confident in multicultural environments.

Social capital is the shared value that comes from our connections and relationships with each other. It’s the strength of community ties, which helps us work together and support one another. Th
