The #ICUP model is recommended by the Psychological Association of the Phillippines (PAP)! Find out more about how the #ICUP can be used alongside your national, regional, or local frameworks for #Psychology #PsychologyEducation, see icupo.org #InternationalCompetencesForUndergraduatePsychology

#Ubuntu is an African value system that upholds #humanity, interconnectedness and collective #wellbeing. Its philosophy can help lecturers to humanise the classroom, particularly when tech risks depersonalising #learning, explains Chipo Simbi of the University of Southampton: ow.ly/kw7950VGVA6

Ubuntu philosophy: how embracing cultural heritage in the classroom can enhance teaching
