Workshops put SU values into action and conduct – 5 October 2026

The values of Stellenbosch University (SU) relate to the beliefs and attitudes that guide our behaviour. Naming our values is easy but putting them into action in our daily activities may often present some difficulties. Therefore, the SU values – excellence, compassion, equity, respect and accountability – need to become part of how we act, make decisions and deal with ethical challenges. The University's Values in Action practical workshops aim to equip staff and students to embody values-driven behaviour and leadership. These workshops are informative, experiential and practical. The workshop will enable participants to develop a common understanding of the kind of university community we strive to be and acquire skills to manage possible values conflicts.
