Urban Arts Platform has won the prestigious “Caring Award 2012” at the
JDA Halala Joburg Awards
This award attests to the hard work Urban Arts Platform has
put into the inner-city of Johannesburg with passion and
dedication. Through the arts, we have shown people in the suburbs that the
inner-city is a place of potential and value. We have also given the
people who live and work in the inner-city, many of whom are previously
disadvantaged, a sense of human dignity and pride that comes with
participating in an arts activity.
“Now in its fifth year, the annual Halala
Joburg Awards – hosted by the Johannesburg Development Agency (JDA) –
recognises and celebrates people, projects and places that strive to improve
the quality of life in the inner city. The event, which
took place at The Forum at Turbine Hall on 26 June, also honoured other
projects, such as […] Urban Arts Platform for "Caring Joburg: supporting
Joburg's citizens"; and Wayne and Renney Plit for "Believing in
Joburg: the Stan Nkosi Award". <http://www.jda.org.za/news-and-media-releases-2012/june/840-halala-awards-handed-out>
