The Spar Future Warriors Conference 2016 
 

The SPAR Future Warriors Conference is part of SPAR’s very exciting programme empowering children to protect the environment and ensure that sustainability drives the way they operate. The conference arose from SPAR wanting to establish a strong presence in the sustainability arena and being the keepers of the future. This is why focusing on children was a natural starting point for them.

When Sugar Bay asked why they have chosen to host this competition especially for children/teenagers in the respective age group?

Sasha Sankar, Spar's Sustainability Assistant said:
“In previous years, we found that children within this age group tend to absorb more from the experience.”
Which is undoubtedly true, as here at Sugar Bay, we're big on experiential education.

We went on further to ask why the conference has chosen to focus on Renewable Energy as a subject and this is what Sasha said;

“Renewable energy is currently a popular topic in South Africa. There is not only a global move towards these cleaner energy sources, but we also need to urgently deal with the current energy crisis and its far-reaching social and economic impact on South Africa. The SPAR Future Warrior’s Conference is the perfect platform to explain the concept of sustainability to the next generation and showcase how this is important for their future.”
We also asked why SPAR chose Sugar Bay to be the host of this conference, and Sasha answered:

“We loved that this (Sugar Bay), is a fun, child-friendly environment that focuses on the needs of the children. We felt that at this venue, we would be able to educate the children while they enjoy the various activities offered at Sugar Bay.” 

The objective of the Spar Future Warriors Conference is to educate all children to be environmentally friendly and nurture a responsible future generation. The first conference took place in Durban, South Africa, in 2009. Initially, the conference was themed ‘For our Future', which evolved to be more focussed on the children themselves, and is now titled the ‘SPAR Future Warriors Conference'. The 2016 conference will include environmental, social and economic issues to give the children a more comprehensive view of sustainability.
The competition is open to all children between the ages of 10 and 15. We hope to have children from all walks of life and backgrounds, therefore inspiring children to live sustainably irrespective of their dreams and circumstances.
Here are some highlights of the Spar Future Warriors Conference:

  • Making sustainability activism fun and exciting
  • Excellent learning opportunities; whilst
  • Making new friends from different backgrounds.

Winners that answer the competition questions correctly and display a passion for their future will be selected to join us at the Future Warriors Conference in October 2016.

Stalk the lantern Stalk the lantern is a game which was inspired by the army and typically played during the dark. Everyone needs to be dressed in black and have their faces painted, just as the soldiers camouflage themselves in the army. Divide the players into teams and select the same number as the teams to get representatives to form the lantern. The representatives are responsible for shining the flashlight on players in order to get them out of the game. The objective of the game is to get as close to the lantern as p
