Heritage can enhance a sense of belonging to a place, offering inspiration and belief in what is possible. Integrating and promoting heritage and culture in urban strategies can aid in instilling pride in past achievements and contribute towards building more resilient communities and inclusive cities.
These resources were developed to offer archaeology, history and other students materials to enhance their appreciation and understanding of the Great Zimbabwe National Monument, thereby enriching their learning experience.
The resources were gathered in the context of the SARDC Teaching on-site workshop which took place from October 2nd to 6th, 2023, at the Great Zimbabwe historical site. The workshop allowed students from three SMUS partner universities to acquire new theoretical knowledge, learn about responsible research practices, gain exposure to archaeological sites, interact with advanced academics and learn about the importance of stakeholder and community engagement. The workshop also benefited the more advanced researchers in the group by strengthening their teaching skills, facilitating knowledge sharing amongst peers, and facilitating greater interdisciplinary understanding and cooperation.
