Suid Afrikaanse Sentrum vir Nederland en Vlaandere, SASNEV, is a dynamic, independent center where the cultural interests of The Netherlands, Flanders and South Africa meet, primarily aimed at Afrikaans-speaking South Africans, and with the purpose of achieving shared language and other cultural experiences through demand-driven projects. One of the projects that Stichting Trias Neerlandica has sponsored in the past was the school method ‘Eenders en Anders’, a lesson package for Eenders & Anders aims to South African learners who use Afrikaans as their home language undertake to introduce the Dutch and Flemish language, culture and literature. Eenders & Anders is a series of lesson packages for grades 6 to 11. For each grade there is a relevant theme, a learner’s book and a teacher’s guide which together form a constitute package.
