Learning Without Borders: UNIVEN Student Reflects on the 2026 THENSA-DHIK September School

The 2026 THENSA-DHIK September School brought South African and German students together for two weeks of international and interdisciplinary learning. The programme explored sustainability, technology, innovation and development through academic and practical activities. It also promoted cultural exchange, institutional cooperation and international networking. For me, who was the only privileged University of Venda student, the experience became a transformative academic, professional and personal journey.
