Democracy Unplugged: Arts, Culture & the Classroom

Presented by Podcast Party in proud partnership with RedFest 2025

Join us for a unique and powerful live-recorded conversation as Podcast Party brings their acclaimed Democracy Unplugged series to Redhill School in the lead-up to #RedFest2025.

In this special episode, a panel of South African cultural icons and Redhill’s Executive Head, Mr Joseph Gerassi, come together to explore the vital yet often overlooked role of arts and culture in our schools - and ask the bold question:Can a nation truly thrive without nurturing its artists from the ground up?

This is more than just a discussion - it’s a celebration of creativity, identity, heritage, and the power of education to shape who we are.

Moderated by Brent Lindeque, the force behind Good Things Guy and one of South Africa’s most inspiring change-makers, the evening promises to be authentic, thought-provoking, and deeply relevant.
