Africa Week Celebratory Dialogue: African Higher Education – Celebrating African Education

Africa/Johannesburg
Centenary Complex: Bloemfontein Campus
Description

The University of the Free State Office for International Affairs, in collaboration with the Unit for Institutional Change and Social Justice,will be hosting its fifth annual Africa Day commemoration. The 2022 commemoration will be hosted across all three campuses in a marathon we call Africa Week, which unifies the activities through cross-campus collaboration speaking in one voice for one institution. The activities will be three-tiered, starting with an opening ceremony for Africa Week on the South Campus, a celebratory dialogue on the Bloemfontein Campus, and lastly, the closing ceremony of Africa Week on the Qwaqwa Campus. All three activities will be embodied under the theme ‘African Higher Education – Celebrating African Education’, which will embrace artistic expressions, music, dance, and meaningful dialogue that will provide an element for teaching and learning.
