The Opportunity Summit was a gathering hosted by Our Voice that brought entrepreneurs, creatives, promoters and community members into the same room at the Northern Cape Theatre in Kimberley, with one idea at its centre: creating possibilities together.
It was built to be practical as well as inspiring. Guests learned in masterclasses, joined the conversation in a panel discussion, met people who can open doors, and saw local businesses and artists up close through the exhibition and live performances.

Film
Screenings
Stories on the big screen, where people already are.
Our Voice film screenings take stories to where people already are, in communities and schools. A banner, a projector and a wall are often all it takes to turn an open space or a classroom into a cinema.
Each screening is about more than the film. It starts a conversation, in communities at dusk and with learners at school, about the issues that matter locally, and it gives people a platform to be seen and heard.
