An engaging and thoughtfully facilitated Strategic Marketing session led by Dr Mandhlazi, and evaluated by Ms Mbali’nhle Mohlakoana, highlighted the impact of active, student-centred learning. Students presented group work on Product & Service Innovation, demonstrating strong understanding, confidence, and the ability to engage critically with one another’s ideas.

The structured format—combining presentations with discussion—created a dynamic and inclusive learning environment where collaboration and knowledge-sharing thrived. Clear guidance, ongoing feedback, and a transparent assessment approach supported students in articulating their ideas effectively and responding with confidence.

A strong example of how innovative teaching practices, supported through reflective evaluation, can enhance participation, deepen learning, and empower students in the classroom. 👏

During 23–27 March, students from the School of Management Sciences participated in the 13th International Week on Sustainability—marking the third year Mandela University students have been involved.

Hosted online by the University of Antwerp, Belgium, and facilitated in person by Prof Shelley Farrington, Dr Storm Watson, and Ms Leigh Stear from the Department of Business Management, the programme spanned five interactive days.

Students engaged in presentations, discussions, and workshops with international peers, academics, sustainability experts, and CEOs, exploring real-world sustainability challenges and collaborating in global teams.

The experience not only broadened their perspectives but also equipped them to think critically and act responsibly in addressing future sustainability challenges.
