Lesson Description:<\/h2>\nThis lesson is anchored in the \u201cspirit of Ubuntu\u201d (Tutu, 2012, 0. 28) and calls on students to activate by sharing their point of view, as they watch a variety of videos that discuss and teach Ubuntu (Tutu, 2013). By working together through \u201ccritical community conversations\u201d (Mogadime, 2021, p. 10) in learning about Ubuntu, students are supported as they reflect on how the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is connected to an African way of knowing. \u201cUbuntu is an African epistemology (way of thinking) and ontology (way of being) in the world that is based on knowledge about human relations and relationships\u201d (Mogadime, 2021, p. 10). The learning experiences will guide students to connect through a process that calls on tight support from the teacher and the peer group during conferences as well allowing for students to communicate their individual voice, as a defender of Human Rights. According to Mogadime (2021, p. 10), an \u201cUbuntu teaching and learning process is holistic in that it integrates spirituality, interdependence and unity.\" Through a gradual release of the knowledge shared, students will slowly unpack a realization that change is possible when learning about culturally relevant narratives centred around Ubuntu.<\/span>\n
