Nature gives young people a sense of belonging. It is an alternative remedy to the lack of identity and belonging that many children experience, a remedy much safer and more productive than gangsterism. In the Silent Knowledge program, participants learn to use the benefits, to preserve, and to be a part of nature. Because Cape Town is seen as a tourist destination, much natural space is controlled, so inordinate amounts of children don’t get the chance to reconnect with nature. Silent Knowledge is about reclaiming these spaces and reconnecting with culture and indigenous identity as the Aboriginal people of South Africa.
