After assessing their remaining functionality and how best they can use it, she recommends driving adap- tations that would enable them to be behind the steering wheel safely and independently, as well as how they will get their wheelchairs in and out of the car. She then refers them to the relevant companies that can build the adaptations and in an ongoing way, she works with these companies to brainstorm even more effective solutions. Where a person has had a stroke or head injury, they undergo a physical and cognitive assessment and then team up with a driving instructor to do an on-road driving test to assess whether it will be safe for the person to drive.

  • “Unleash Your Potential” Communities All Over the World Are Becoming Increasingly BBA in Disaster Management More Vulnerable to Disasters, Whether Natural Or Man-Made
    A campus of Stenden University* Everybody wants to live in a society where they are able to flourish and live meaningful lives. “Unleash Your Potential” Communities all over the world are becoming increasingly BBA in Disaster Management more vulnerable to disasters, whether natural or man-made. Disaster Management is more than just response and relief, it is a cyclical and systematic process based on key management principles. The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Disaster Management is the first of its kind in the world and provides students with professional and practical skills combined with a multi-disciplinary academic approach. In their third year of study students will also have an opportunity to pursue a specialisation in a specific area of Disaster Management. These could include: • Peacebuilding and conflict resolution • Community building and risk/vulnerability reduction • Food security in Africa • International protocol and diplomacy • Climate change, severe weather, extreme events and disasters The closely associated fields of disaster management and disaster risk reduction are growing exponentially and this qualification enables the student to extend his/her skills beyond just the immediate relief and recovery environment during industrial placement. Students will be exposed to the whole disaster management cycle, from prevention and mitigation, assessment of risk and vulnerability, and to response, relief and recovery from disaster impacts. The range of careers depends on the motivation and drive of the student and can range from international agencies including the United Nations and the Red Cross/Red Crescent; to national, regional and local levels of governments (formal disaster management structures); universities; the security and risk management industry; emergency management; hospitals; community relief organisations; agricultural and climate-related organisations, and environmental consultancies.

  • A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement In
    A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement in African Tertiary Institutions Written by Funmi E. Vogt This project was funded through the support of the Carnegie Corporation About the African Leadership Centre In July 2008, King’s College London through the Conflict, Security and Development group (CSDG), established the African Leadership Centre (ALC). In June 2010, the ALC was officially launched in Nairobi, Kenya, as a joint initiative of King’s College London and the University of Nairobi. The ALC aims to build the next generation of scholars and analysts on peace, security and development. The idea of an African Leadership Centre was conceived to generate innovative ways to address some of the challenges faced on the African continent, by a new generation of “home‐grown” talent. The ALC provides mentoring to the next generation of African leaders and facilitates their participation in national, regional and international efforts to achieve transformative change in Africa, and is guided by the following principles: a) To foster African‐led ideas and processes of change b) To encourage diversity in terms of gender, region, class and beliefs c) To provide the right environment for independent thinking d) Recognition of youth agency e) Pursuit of excellence f) Integrity The African Leadership Centre mentors young Africans with the potential to lead innovative change in their communities, countries and across the continent. The Centre links academia and the real world of policy and practice, and aims to build a network of people who are committed to the issue of Peace and Security on the continent of Africa.

    OPENING GATES: REFLECTING ON THE LIAISON ROLE OF THE DESIGN EDUCATION FORUM OF SOUTHERN AFRICA AT A TERTIARY LEVEL Amanda BREYTENBACH Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture, University of Johannesburg Abstract The paper reflects on how DEFSA has delivered on the Forum’s first aim, with specific focus on the liaison activities that takes place at a tertiary level. This aim, as documented in the DEFSA Constitution, reads “Ensuring that liaison is maintained between relevant primary, secondary and tertiary levels of education in matters pertaining to design education, between technikons, universities, technical colleges, private institutions, education authorities and the design industry” (DEFSA, 2007a). This paper focuses on the manner in which liaison has been maintained over the past 18 years, through the use of the DEFSA conferences, between tertiary institutions and between similar design disciplines. The liaison activities are associated with gates of opportunities that are opened and as a result connect people, institutions and design disciplines nationally and abroad. The reflection is conducted over three time periods; past, present and future. The first time period described as the Technikon phase, reflects on the past history and liaisons that took place from DEFSA’s inception in 1991 to the announcement of the higher education institutional mergers in 2002. The second period reflects on the present, which includes the merger period. This phase described as the Higher Education merger and restructuring phase, reflects on the impact of the merger, the restructuring of the design education landscape, design programme offerings and the role that DEFSA fulfilled during this period. Lastly, the third period presents a future projection by reflecting on the current expectations and challenges that impact on the future of DEFSA.
