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)

In the last semester of 2024, two parallel studies, in North and Southern Africa, on the use of social media in and for ALE were conducted (see HERE and HERE). Both studies unearthed some interesting findings. Firstly, this is a relatively new and under-explored field; secondly, the social media platform selected depends very much on the target group, and thirdly, many people have reservations about the use of social media as an educational tool, seeing it primarily as something recreational. People also had concerns about privacy, that could be alleviated by providing proper guidance about navigating safely online. Finally, many ALE practitioners lacked confidence in their ability to use social media for ALE purposes. The studies contained additional findings; please refer to the full studies themselves for further information.

Based on the findings of the two studies, and taking into account the areas already covered in the MOJA Communications Handbook for Adult Educators published in 2024 (for the French version, click HERE), the African Continental Project – MOJA is commissioning a module on the use of social media for ALE practitioners.
