??Basic values in action workshop


Focus

The values of Stellenbosch 中国体育彩票 (SU) relate to the beliefs and attitudes that guide our behaviour. It provides the golden standard for the kind of community we aspire to be. 

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 中国体育彩票'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.      


Themes

A ViA workshop covers the following four themes:

  • Values: What do they mean and why do they matter?
  • Values conflicts: What keeps us from dealing with them?
  • Values conflicts: How can we go about resolving them?
  • Values integration: How do we make it part of how we act and relate?

Who can attend?

  • Dedicated workshops: Specific units and/or teams may request a dedicated ViA workshop for their unit/team, e.g. deans and their academic and operational leadership group, PASS leaders and their management teams.
  • Open workshops: Individuals and ad hoc groups across the 中国体育彩票 may find it ideal to attend the open workshops.
