The Community Engagement Unit (CEU) hosted a Scholarship of Engagement for Societal Impact (SoE-SI) Training for the Faculty of Arts and Humanities.
As part of the University Capacity Development Grant (UCDP)-funded project Strengthening the Scholarship of Engagement for Societal Impact (SoE-SI), the session introduced participants to UWC's Scholarship of Engagement Model and provided practical guidance on using the SoE-SI web portal to capture and showcase social impact engagement activities. The training was facilitated by Dr Samantha van Schalkwyk, Acting Director of the CEU, and Mr Ridwaan Mallum, CEU Web portal Architect.
Colleagues engaged with the theoretical foundations of UWC's Scholarships Model, mapping their work accordingly. They were also given the opportunity to share their community-engaged work, celebrate emerging practices, and build a stronger community of practice around social impact. The next phase of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities training will involve project-capturing workshops, during which colleagues will participate in hands-on sessions to support them in capturing their projects on the SoE-SI web portal.
The CEU thanks Prof. Fiona Moolla, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Brooke Alhadeff, and the Faculty of Arts and Humanities colleagues for their support and participation. We look forward to continuing to work with your faculty to showcase your valuable social impact initiatives.
