The New Dinner Conversation: A Series by Amnesty Stellenbosch

23 December 2020

Greetings Humans! Amnesty Stellenbosch is proud to announce the start of our new blog. This space is intended to facilitate conversations surrounding important topics. Our first series, The New Dinner Conversation, will focus on issues that are becoming increasingly important.

As a team, we want to strive to ensure that everyone is aware of what their rights are and that they are also aware of how the things that happen around us affect those rights. The aim of The New Dinner Conversation Series will be to highlight important issues that have far-reaching effects on our human rights, and to try and offer solutions. Change can seem daunting, and enacting change even more so. We are often faced with challenges and issues many times larger than us, challenges and issues whose origins are often many times older than us. Despite this, we truly believe that every individual has the ability to affect change that is meaningful and long-lasting. We believe that any action, no matter how small it may be, can help bring change for the better.

The New Dinner Conversation Series is meant to help give understanding to these important challenges and issues that affect our human rights, and by doing so, hopefully, empower us to understand the challenges and issues we’re facing. Through this understanding, we can begin the work of affecting change.
