SAEP aims to expose Interns to the world they live in and broaden their minds as far as possible. During the course of the year, Interns visit places of historical and cultural significance, such as Robben Island, the District Six museum, the South African Museum and the Slave Lodge Museum. For the past three years, the Interns have also taken an overnight hike up the People's Trail on Table Mountain, which was specifically created for under-privileged Capetonian youth. Interns also attend plays, speeches, concerts and other cultural events.
