Dr Garth Benneyworth represented SPU and South Africa as a panellist on a World Heritage and Educational Institutions in Africa Workshop earlier this year

His paper was entitled, “Building futures through developing heritage studies as a learning and economic resource”.

The three-day workshop brought together African academics and African World Heritage experts who have expressed interest in the English-speaking African university network to facilitate their contributions to the further development of a regional network.

The workshop was hosted by the Great Zimbabwe University in Zimbabwe as part of a project entitled “Integration of World Heritage Curriculum in African Educational Institutions.”
