It is essential that we stay current with trends in this age of globalization. Community Engagement (CE), School of Education has launched a podcast series called Siyacobelelana, which refers to sharing, learning, and growing. We envisage that the podcast series will capture the essence of the meaning of its name. The podcast is a space where CE collaborations are explored and discussed. The podcast series consists of one-on-one interviews and round table discussions (virtual or physical).  Weekly updates of the Siyacobelelana podcasts will be uploaded to the CE School of Education website and our YouTube channel. The first episode is with Academic Leader, Professor James, where she unpacks the significance of community and community engagement and the purpose of the podcast series.
