# The City of Cape Town’s Social Development and Early Childhood Development Department in partnership with the Whitaker Peace and Development Initiative yesterday hosted a graduation ceremony in Rylands. This was to acknowledge more than 200 young people who successfully completed a development training course. The six-day training course included career guidance, entrepreneurship, business training, conflict resolution, and life skills with a specific view to facilitating peace between factions in neighbourhoods. The initiative was founded by American actor Forest Whitaker in 2012.
