The residency is facilitated by the South African K4C Southern Hub, comprising Mandela and Rhodes universities, and forms part of a UNESCO-linked programme focused on community-based participatory research, knowledge democracy and socially responsive higher education.
As part of the programme, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor: Engagement and Transformation, Professor Andre Keet, will formally welcome some 50 participants in higher education from all over Africa to the University and the city, at a welcome event hosted at the Ocean Sciences Campus.
The residency will include panel discussions, seminars, arts-based inquiry, and community engagements across Mandela University’s campuses and partner sites, showcasing the University’s commitment to meaningful university–community partnerships within a global learning network.
