The District Six Museum is the perfect extension of the classroom. Wonderful visuals, oral testimony, documentaries, audio-visual materials - and last but certainly not least, the knowledge of ex-residents: our Education Officers offer personal tours which pupils love.

Noor Ebrahim and Joe Schaffers introduce learners, young and old alike, to the history of District Six, apartheid and forced removals. Education Programmes on special topics (for example, Richard Rive's popular “Buckingham Palace”) are available on request.

In order to make visits to the District Six Museum as instructive as possible, we would like to recommend that Louise Mohamed be contacted on (0)21 466 7200 or at the following email address to book a school tour: education@districtsix.co.za  or louise@districtsix.co.za

We further recommend that learners be at least 10 years old or older, and that groups are restricted to a maximum of 40 learners. Education Programmes are available from Tuesday to Friday from 10h30, and last for approximately 1 hour. Longer programmes and workshops that include a tour of the actual District are available on request.

Tour fees are R5.00/ learner.
Workshop fees are negotiable - materials/costs
Special programmes with partner organisations are negotiable and we encourage schools to approach local businesses / ex-learners / government organisations to enable the participation of learners in the interactive programmes that we offer.
