About the Africa Initiative: International Teaching Weeks

The goal of Africa Initiative: International Teaching Weeks for professional development of university teachers is to foster internationalisation, enhance and promote professional development among university teachers and professional staff and contribute positively to the quality of education. The goal is furthermore to create global networking opportunities and improve cultural competence and institutional internationalisation through committing to sustainable global education and collaboration.

Four universities in South Africa collaborate to host teaching weeks and invite international colleagues to teach during teaching weeks hosted at each of the universities in different faculties.

All of the above teaching weeks are made possible through funding from the DHET through the UCDG.
