The Learning and Teaching Imbizo took place from 22nd to 25th November 2022 at the Southern Sun Maharani and Elangeni. The Imbizo was planned and organised by the Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching. The Imbizo theme Time for Universities to grow up? provided delegates with the opportunities to pause, engage reflexively and ask deep, critical questions about change and growth post-pandemic – it was an opportunity to engage collaboratively in dialogue and deliberate on critical higher education issues.

One hundred forty-six (146) delegates registered from 24 institutions,13 of these were SA higher education institutions, a number of institutions from Africa and two overseas institutions. There were 90 DUT registered delegates, including postgraduate students. There were five studentpreneurs from the innobiz who exhibited their work. The Imbizo took place as a hybrid event enabling in-person and virtual participation.

HIGHER EDUCATION WELL-BEING: TRANSCENDING BOUNDARIES, REFRAMING EXCELLENCE

The connections between higher education and well-being “matter for the individual lives of the student and those who teach; [they matter for the disciplines and professions]; they matter for the institutions; they matter for the promise of a democratic civic society; and they matter for whether or not the unique and full promise of higher education – its greater purpose – can be advanced and realized” (Harward, D. W. Well-Being and Higher Education: A Strategy for Change and the Realization of Education’s Greater Purposes. 2016)

Higher education worldwide is undeniably in a state of disquiet and disruption. The complexities and challenges confronting higher education require a careful examination of higher education well-being and innovative and creative responses that transcend boundaries and reframes excellence, looking beyond the institutional insularity and examining its contribution towards a greater good.
