2018 2019 KovsieCyberSta Search
2017/2018 #KovsieCyberSta’s Thuli Molebalwa and Amu Mathebula.
The search for the next #KovsieCyberSta is on. We are looking for two vibrant presenters to  take over the reins from Thuli and Amu as the official UFS Social Media ambassadors.
 
The two outstanding candidates will hold the title of #KovsieCyberSta for a period of 12 months. As #KovsieCyberStas, they will cover events on and around campus, while filming and presenting short video clips to give fellow Kovsies some insight into these events on the UFS Social Media platforms.

At the end of their term, they will receive a recommendation letter and portfolio of their work to add to their show-reel.

The #KovsieCyberSta search will work according to the following simple steps: 

1. Candidates upload a 45-60-second audition video on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook and tag the UFS while using #KovsieCyberSta. In your video, you must tell us why you should be the next #KovsieCyberSta.
2. You can also send your audition videos to socialmedia@ufs.ac.za. 
3. The Top Ten most impressive auditions will be shortlisted and posted on the UFS pages for public votes on 16 April 2018.
4. The Kovsie community will then decide through voting who gets to win and the winners will be announced on 23 April 2018.

Watch the video below for a quick demonstration on how to enter your audition video:

UFS shaping arts and culture education in the Free State
2009-03-16

 
A collaboration between the Department of Fine Arts at the University of the Free State, the Department of Arts and Culture and the Flemish government has been instrumental in gradually changing the landscape of arts and culture education in the Free State. The Artists in Schools Project: Free State Province (AIS FS), launched in 2004 as a result of this collaboration, has since made remarkable strides in developing the arts and culture learning area in schools and creating jobs for visual artists in the province. The project brings together artists, educators and learners in a mutually beneficial process that involves various stakeholders from government, educational institutions and communities. It not only benefits schools from disadvantaged areas, but also those catering for learners with disabilities. AIS FS covers three districts of the province, namely Motheo, Lejweleputswa and Thabo Mofutsanyane. Pictured are, from the left: Mr Dirk-Hannes van den Berg (student involved in AIS FS), Ms Nontombi Ntakakaze (Project Manager) and Mr Bareng Lichaba Lichaba (Artist Educator), with some of the artworks produced by learners.
