Welcoming week: Social Impact Morninghttps://www.sun.ac.za/english/Lists/Events/DispForm.aspx?ID=3867Welcoming week: Social Impact Morning<p>​​<strong>Maties Make an Impact during Welcoming Week</strong></p><p style="text-align:justify;">Around five thousand newcomers are welcomed at Stellenbosch University (SU) every year.  The annual tradition of exposing these newcomers to a well-rounded student life kicks off during welcoming week.  A social impact morning is part of the welcoming programme and provides an opportunity for SU to expose newcomers to out of classroom learning experiences in community contexts.  This year, along with the residences and PSO's, student societies and clusters will also be participating. Although some of the activities are once-off outreach endeavours, others will follow through by spending up to 20 weeks volunteering at the respective organisations in the communities in and around Stellenbosch and Tygerberg.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">On <strong>01 February 2018</strong>, from 09:00 to 12:00, some of the students from residences will be moving off campus to support various initiatives in local communities.  These residences include such as Huis ten Bosch who will be supporting Ark Educare Centre where newcomers will interact with learners through different activities. Other residences stay on campus and take initiative in making sandwiches and collecting stationery. </p><p style="text-align:justify;">Even though the Medicine and Health Sciences Campus at Tygerberg has already started with their academic programme, they are also involved in various social impact initiatives. Since Tygerberg is the Medicine and Health Sciences campus, Osler a private student organisation (PSO), is focusing their efforts on improving the environment within Tygerberg hospital.  At the same time, the Hippokrates residence acknowledges the importance of education and will be visiting a primary school. Activities include; a bridge clean-up, the creation of a campus vegetable garden and a visit to the old age home.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">The aim of the social impact morning is to introduce new students to community development initiatives and to build on the culture of enhancing social impact at SU. Through these initiatives, students have an opportunity to contribute in a broad sense to the SU Social Impact themes namely: Education for All; Employment & Inclusive Economic Development; Environment & Sustainability; Food Security & Health; Resources & Infrastructure; Safety, Security & Good Governance; and Social & Gender Justice. There are initiatives which run all year long that are always in need of more volunteers. The events of February 1<sup>st</sup> will hopefully inspire many more Maties to get involved and make a difference.</p><p>For more information, contact Michelle Pietersen at the Stellenbosch Campus: 021 808 3643 and Avril Whate at the Medicine and Health Sciences Campus: 021 938 9310</p><p><strong>Programme:</strong></p><table width="100%" class="ms-rteTable-default" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr class="ms-rteTableEvenRow-default"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-default" style="width:25%;"><strong>Stellenbosch Campus</strong></td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-default" style="width:25%;">​</td><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-default" style="width:25%;">​</td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-default" style="width:25%;"><strong> </strong></td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableOddRow-default"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-default">Residence/Ward</td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-default">Community Partner</td><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-default">Activity</td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-default">Sustainable Development Goal/s Addressed</td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableEvenRow-default"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-default"><p><strong>Aurora</strong></p><p> </p><p>Carlisle Nel</p><p><a href="mailto:17497299@sun.ac.za"><span lang="PT-BR" style="text-decoration:underline;">17497299@sun.ac.za</span></a></p><p> </p><p>Damion Boer</p><p><a href="mailto:19472560@sun.ac.za"><span lang="EN-US" style="text-decoration:underline;">19472560@sun.ac.za</span></a></p><p> </p></td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-default"><p>Stellenbosch Municipality </p><p>Disaster Unit</p></td><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-default">Students will be contributing by making sandwiches and donating canned food, which will be collected by the Disaster Unit.</td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-default"><p> </p><p> </p><p>Food Security & Health</p></td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableOddRow-default"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-default"><p><strong>Huis ten Bosch & Serruria</strong></p><p> </p><p>Stefanie Kotze</p><p><a href="mailto:20149778@sun.ac.za"><span lang="EN-US" style="text-decoration:underline;">20149778@sun.ac.za</span></a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Nicoline Moelich</p><p><a href="mailto:20066341@sun.ac.za"><span lang="EN-US" style="text-decoration:underline;">20066341@sun.ac.za</span></a></p><p> </p></td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-default">ARK Educare Centre </td><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-default"><p>Huis ten Bosch and Serruria are planning on having a fun day where they will be entertaining the children of Ark Educare Centre.

7th International Symposium on Service Learning: June 14-16, 2017, Galway, Irelandhttps://www.sun.ac.za/english/Lists/Events/DispForm.aspx?ID=33597th International Symposium on Service Learning: June 14-16, 2017, Galway, Ireland<p>Transformation has become a central discussion theme in the higher education landscape worldwide. Forecasts are that higher education institutions might become virtual entities that compete for survival which will render face to face interaction of the lecture hall redundant. Out of classroom learning spaces might become more important as students will learn in their own communities. Service-learning is a transformative pedagogy that emphasize out of classroom experiences as a learning space, the community as a textbook and where theory become practice.   </p><p>The purpose of the 7th International Symposium on Service-Learning is to focus on transitions in higher education and the role that service-learning plays. The focus will be on experiences of transitions from across the globe and how service-learning transforms students to critical citizens, faculty to engaged scholars and communities into living knowledge incubators. These focal points will be threaded throughout a variety of presentation types and formats to allow for meaningful dialogue among academics, community partners, students, and other professionals.  </p><p>The 7th international symposium aims to: 1. Explore the nuances of transitions and transformation in higher education across the world. 2. Enhance the systemic transformative social impact of service-learning in society.  3. Illuminate and enhance service-learning as an innovative transformative pedagogy for social change. 4. Strengthen networking between different institutions of higher education and community partners on a global scale.  5. Proliferate participation in service-learning practice in higher education by providing a community of practice through this conference.</p><p><strong>Presentation Format</strong>: research paper; workshop; poster; storytelling & roundtable </p><p><strong>Symposium Themes</strong>:  </p><ul><li>Emerging theoretical perspectives in higher education and transformation studies from across the globe</li><li>Transforming of students to critical citizens</li><li>Service-learning conceptual frameworks that enhance transformation</li><li>Collaborative curriculum design (with communities)</li><li>Collaborative research</li><li>International service-learning</li><li>Inter-, multi- and transdisciplinary transformation initiatives</li><li>Societal impact of service-learning</li><li>Institutional transformation through service-learning  </li></ul><p>For more information, please visit: <a href="http://www.conference.ie/"><span lang="EN-US" style="text-decoration:underline;">www.conference.ie</span></a></p><p>E-mail the abstract to Howard Gordon at <a href="mailto:howard@sun.ac.za"><span lang="EN-US" style="text-decoration:underline;">howard@sun.ac.za</span></a> and use title "ISSL 2017 proposal (last name)" to save the abstract submission.</p>2017-06-14T06:00:00Z2017-06-16T15:00:00ZGalway, Ireland

Social Impact through Teaching and Learninghttps://www.sun.ac.za/english/Lists/Events/DispForm.aspx?ID=3281Social Impact through Teaching and Learning<p>Social impact (SI) is a key strategic priority of Stellenbosch University whereby it commits itself to reciprocally influence, motivate and activate stakeholders both in the university and in society towards positive social change through its core functions of teaching and learning and research.</p><p><em>Engaged teaching and learning</em> (ETL) is a form of teaching and learning which may be curricular or co-curricular; is credit-bearing and includes structured reflection by learners and educators. It aims to facilitate student transition from university to the workplace. It is also associated with collaborative teaching practice where professionals in practice become mentors and co-educators of students and provide opportunities for collaborative research that focuses on teaching practice. Students are mentored to be a new generation of engaged critical citizens and social change enablers. </p><p><em>Engaged teaching and learning</em> is embedded in reciprocal benefit for all involved and encompasses all pedagogical practices that favour experiential type learning where knowledge is socially constructed and activity based.</p><p>During this workshop, participants will participate in informed discussions about SI and ETL practitioners will share best practice theoretical frameworks for ETL and their own application of those frameworks. Particular emphasis will be on the different assessment methods in ETL.  Participants, both advanced and new to ETL will also have the opportunity to network with and learn from others during the structured discussions.</p><p><strong>DATE:</strong> Wednesday, 31 August 2016</p><p><strong>VENUE:</strong> iThemba 2, First Floor, Africa Centre for HIV/AIDS Management, Joubert Street, Stellenbosch</p><p><strong>TIME:</strong> 08:00 – 16:00</p><p><strong>RSVP:</strong> Howard Gordon - howard@sun.ac.za / 021 808 3645 by 18 August 2016​</p>2016-08-31T06:00:00Z2016-08-31T14:00:00ZiThemba 2, First Floor, Africa Centre for HIV/AIDS Management
