Dear Chess Friend

Date: 27 April 2011
Time: 11:00 – 13:00
Venue: Botanical Gardens Conference Centre

The objective of the Moves for Life programme is to unlock the educational potential of South Africa's children by improving maths & science performance, through the implementation of structured chess programmes.

The Moves for Life prgramme consist of two sub programmes. They are:

1. The MiniChessTM programme. This programme is intended for Grade R, 1, 2 and 3 learners and    is presented as a chess-in-school activity. This programme is unique in the sense that it uses    chess to train math concepts and basic life skills to the younger learners in a fun and easy way.
2. The masterMoves programme. This programme establishes chess as an extramural activity at    the participating school. Learners participate in chess after hours at their schools' chess club. A    dedicated trainer is deployed for the participating school. Learners are encouraged to take part    in organised tournaments and further life skill development takes place through chess.

The presentation will give a full overview of the programme, it unique features as well as information on how individuals, chess clubs, chess unions and schools can become involved and benefit from the programme. The overview presentation will take place from 11:00 to 13:00 and is free of charge.
