Subject: [Wikimedia ZA] Fwd: FW: Important Notice! Date change for Walkabout and Wikipedia
Workshop at Montebello. New date Saturday 2nd November
Hello everyone,
Please see below for an invitation to a Wikimedia ZA event in Cape Town on
the 2 November. We will be co-hosting an event with UCT's d-school of
design to encourage more members of the design community to contribute to
Wikipedia. If you are interested in joining us then it will take place
immediately after the 21 Cape Town meetup happening on the same day. I am
happy to take a few Wikimedians with me or you can meet me at Montebello
Design centre. Please let me know if you want to join us so I can RSVP.
If you are an experienced Wikipedia editor who wants to volunteer to help
out on the day then just let me know.
Thanks,
Douglas.

Meet under the trees for a welcome drink
Tessa Graaff, managing director of Montebello Design Centre, will lead an
informative walkabout of the centre on Saturday 2nd November 2019 at
11:00. She will talk about Montebello’s fascinating history and vision “to
nurture dreams to grow creative solutions from Africa”.
Montebello is located in Newlands and is the result of a financial and
property bequest by Cecil Michaelis. The project is situated in the farm
buildings of the historic site of Montebello. These buildings and land have
a colourful history, being the birth place of Ohlssons Brewery and
Continental China. Today, Montebello is home to a broad spectrum of
designers, innovators, artists and crafters. An outreach project runs as
part of Montebello Design Centre's mission to promote craft and design.
Studios and workshops will be open to share stories of their creative and
innovative work covering all aspects of design.
