TIDI Seminar in Association with the Embassy of South Africa in Ireland and the School of Education, Trinity College: The year 2017 marks 4th anniversary of Nelson Mandela’s death. Each year on the 5th December, the anniversary of his death, his legacy is celebrated. This year, the Embassy of the Republic of South Africa commemorates Nelson Mandela’s enduring legacy on education. Nelson Mandela, who lived from 18 July 1918 to 5 December 2013, was a South African anti-apartheid activist, politician, and philanthropist, who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He was the country's first black head of state and the first elected in a fully representative democratic election. His government focused on dismantling the legacy of apartheid by tackling institutionalised racism and fostering racial reconciliation. He served as President of the African National Congress (ANC) party from 1991 to 1997. To RSVP for this event please email Mairéad Finn, TIDI Coordinator, at tidi@tcd.ie.
