Answer 1

I answered a similar question a while ago. Have a look, I think one of the answers probably solves your problem as well.

How do I access the child classes of an object in django without knowing the name of the child class?

My answer from there was to add this to the parent class:

def get_children(self):
    rel_objs = self._meta.get_all_related_objects()
    return [getattr(self, x.get_accessor_name()) for x in rel_objs if x.model != type(self)]

Then you can call that function to get the children objects (in your case you will only have one) and then call the unicode function from that object.
