Welcome!

We would like to warmly welcome you to our blog. We are a group of seven students of English and South African studies at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. In February 2016 we are going to South Africa. We called this project "Chasing the Horizon Tour". We will see everything what we have learned about for the last three years. We will share with you all news about our big adventure as well as everything about the planing required.

The tour is officially sanctioned and supported by the Office of the Dean of the Faculty of English but we ourselves have to raise the money to cover the costs, primarily the tickets to South Africa and the expenses involved in travelling though the vast country, including the hiring of a minibus and the price of the fuel.

The purpose of the tour is not only to put the skills acquired during three years of studying language, culture and history into practice, but also allowing for cultural exchange between South Africa and Poland - taking advantage at the unique opportunity to give South Africans an insight into our own language and cultural traditions. Our group are going to visit a number of South African universities, including Venda, Pretoria, Johannesburg, Free State, Stellenbosch and Rhodes. As in the past, we will be taking part in the Afrikaans community project in Soweto.
