WORKSHOP: Scholarship in Action - Advancing Socially Engaged Research in Africa
24 April 2025, 14:00 - 15:30 | Johannesburg
Workshop
MOJA Adult Education Africa invites you to participate in an interactive workshop on Socially Engaged Scholarship. This workshop will bring together scholars exploring and committed to bridging the gap between academia and civil society by centering knowledge production in real-world struggles, relationships, and transformative action.
Socially engaged scholarship challenges the confines of theoretical abstraction and calls for meaningful praxis—one that fosters mutual respect, collaboration, and direct community impact. In this workshop we will explore in regional working groups how to develop localized strategies for advancing engaged scholarship.
JOIN US at this workshop. We look forward to your contributions as we chart a collective path for engaged scholarship that places community at its centre.
DATE: 24 April 2024
DATE: 14:00 – 15:30 (SAST) / 15:00 - 16:30 (EAT)

Webinar: 'Exploring learning through culture: Leveraging the arts to empower cities'
You are warmly invited to the UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities' Webinar: ‘Exploring learning through culture: Leveraging the arts to empower cities’ on 15 October 2025. This event is part of our global webinar series, ‘Unlocking the power of lifelong learning’, bringing together stakeholders from across the globe on the first and third Wednesday of every month.
This webinar will focus on culture and the arts as powerful vehicles for promoting lifelong learning in cities. Creative processes, whether they are related to the visual arts, music, dance or theatre, can foster new ways of thinking, personal growth and self-expression. These activities not only enhance cognitive abilities but also inspire individuals to see the world in a different way, encouraging innovative and outside-the-box thinking. Artistic interventions in urban spaces can transform city environments, offering opportunities to reconnect with local cultural heritage and forge stronger community bonds.
This webinar will delve into the potential of culture and artistic practices to shape urban learning experiences. Speakers will consider how cultural institutions and public art initiatives make culture-based learning accessible to diverse audiences. They will discuss strategies for integrating the arts into urban education policies. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how cultural initiatives can be designed to enhance educational inclusion, engagement and empowerment across diverse communities.
