Newsprint – another fierce supporter of the #Festival
It is probably safe to say that the management as much as personnel of Newsprint Namibia, have committed boots 'n all to the first Hashtag Festival, which will take place from 7 to 9 September this year.
Apart from co-sponsoring the #Festival, the manager and two of his management team have committed to acting as NMH-patrons to further the #Festival-franchises.
The deal was sealed when a number of learners of Jan Mohr Secondary School, as well as those of Windhoek Gymnasium Private School, visited Newsprint's printing press in the Lafrenz Industria and met up with Newsprint personnel. Newsprint Namibia as sponsor has been allocated to the Delta Lions Franchise, which comprises of students from Windhoek Gymnasium, Jan Mohr Secondary School and the Delta Secondary School Windhoek.
During the #Festival, Thursday and Friday will be mainly dedicated to the career expo with its information stands, presentations and lectures, with a few side shows and cultural activities to pique interest and entertain.
The expo and all other and subsequent activities will take place at the SKW Sport Grounds.
On Saturday, all nine franchises will compete against each other in sports codes, such as seven-a-side rugby, five-a-side soccer, volleyball, hockey, tennis, netball and more. The franchises themselves are made up of pupils from all regions of the country and the goal is to promote sportsmanship in Namibia, by bundling schools, which would not normally compete against each other, into the same franchise and have them compete as a team against other franchises, which also operate outside their comfort zones.
