DSW learners to showcase talent at European festival

Delta School Windhoek (DSW) learners are set to participate in the 55th International Gathering of Children of Europe - 'Joy of Europe' festival, scheduled to take place in Belgrade, Serbia, from 1 to 6 October.DSW learners will compete in the XXVI International Drawing and Painting Competition - Joy of Europe during their trip.This is DSW’s second consecutive year of participation in this event.The learners will depart from Windhoek on 25 September and return on 8 October. They aim to represent their school, the Khomas Region, and Namibia with pride, showcasing traditional dances and songs.'I love my culture and I am looking forward to meeting new people and their culture,' said Tuwilika Kanandjembo, a DSW learner.Put Namibia on the mapThe invitation to return to Serbia for a second time was made possible through the continued efforts of Draga Boskovic, the spouse of the honorary consul of Namibia in Serbia and a teacher at Delta School Windhoek.Last year, the school won an international prize in the art competition segment of the event. The school has organised a group of 18 individuals to take part in this special tour.“This trip will really put Namibia on the map with such creative and talented young minds,” said Dominga Brinkman, the art teacher who inspired learners to do their very best.‘We have arrived’While the trip is primarily self-funded, DSW is open to sponsors to help cover the expenses. The school has announced that they are appealing for donations to support their students' participation in this cultural exchange.“We want to expose our children to much more; we want them to learn, experience and feel,” said Celma Richter, principal of DSW.The group has adopted the name ‘Twaya Siki’, meaning 'We have arrived', symbolising their enthusiasm and readiness to engage with peers from across Europe.The trip is not just a competition but an opportunity to build lasting friendships and cultural ties between Serbia and Namibia. “Delta School Windhoek’s participation in the ‘Joy of Europe’ is more than an art competition; it is a celebration of unity and cultural exchange,” Boskovic said.The school’s efforts highlight the importance of international collaboration and the value of the arts in bridging cultural divides. With their talent and vibrant cultural heritage, the students of Delta School Windhoek are poised to make Namibia proud on this international platform.
