Today we held our pre-departure meeting in London and finally met each other after a few weeks of exchanging emails. It was great to meet the members of the group and discuss our plans for the tour of South Africa!
The introduction to South Africa and its higher education system by Professor Calie Pistorius was immensely useful and his enthusiasm was infectious. The afternoon was spent discussing what we wanted to focus on in our themes: getting into university, life beyond the classroom, and professional development; as well as the practical arrangements for the trip.
We are now looking forward to the tour itself which starts on 11th November and runs until 20th November.
