Promoting meaningful Social Partnerships and Engagements in Communities in Southern Africa.”
The conference will take place from 28 – 30 June 2023. It offers an opportunity to connect, collaborate and communicate best practices for engaging with communities.
According to Community Engagement (CE) Manager Dr Mammusa Lekoa, UNIZULU, through the CE office, approached CE directorates in sister universities to collaborate with each other. The partners gave honour and agreed that UNIZULU as the initiator will host the physical or face-to-face part of the conference. “This is our inaugural conference at the University of Zululand, which focuses on matters of engagement. It is a collaborative effort between UNIZULU as a physical host, UNIVEN, MUT, BOTHO UNIVERSITY and Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund. The conference is an academic activity that allows the scholars to engage with each other, share ideas, showcase their work and network,” explained Dr Lekoa.
