Nurses of Ubuntu
The Power of Human-ness
October 5th to November 3rd, 2016
Open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Ubuntu, a word in the language of South Africa, is recognized as a world view of intense humanness and shared concern for each other and togetherness. “I am because you are” captures the recognition that we are interconnected, conscious of one another and sustained in each other.
Nursing students in the School of Health Science, explored concepts of cultural awareness and civic engagement, not in a classroom, but by working with local communities in Tanzania and Jamaica during their international clinical placements.
The exhibited body of work captures the substance of Ubuntu as the nursing students experience togetherness, honour compassion, promote tolerance and propagate harmony.
This interactive digital collection will reaffirm the power and the nature of an individual responsibility towards social change. This exhibition is an opportunity to connect with our own views and others…and ignite a dialogue about modern human-ness.
This interactive digital collection hopes to ignite the discourse about the need for our thoughts and actions to reflect that of connection, community and understanding.
