Opening Keynote: South African Perspectives on Community Engagement
Engaged Scholars from South African universities have made considerable contributions to the development of the field of Community Engagement (CE). Notwithstanding these developments CE in South Africa has struggled to shed its image as an unfunded mandate. A panel of Vice-Chancellors (or their designated representatives) provide perspectives on the sustainability of the CE initiatives that their universities undertake, and the impact of these initiatives on South African society at large.
