Webinar
Join us for a webinar on workers’ education in South Africa and Nigeria, hosted by the Centre for Education Rights and Transformation and the DHET-NRF SARChI Chair in Community, Adult and Workers' Education (CAWE). The webinar will feature a discussion of competing ideologies and perspectives on workers’ education. Professor Mondli Hlatshwayo, who has researched workers’ education in Nigeria and South Africa, will be joined by Baba Aye and Edwin Nisha, both intellectuals and activists in the Nigerian and global labour movement.
SUMMARY: Comparative analysis of the African labour movements is rare, and yet these movements grapple with similar challenges, such as confronting colonial and post-colonial labour regimes. While South Africa and Nigeria boast invaluable literature on workers’ education, an educational tool used by the labour movements, no attempts have been made to compare structured workers’ education in both countries. To bridge this gap, this webinar will examine workers’ education in Nigeria and South Africa, with the aim of unveiling patterns of both similarities and dissimilarities in their perspectives and implementation.

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.
