First meeting - project kick-off and seminar on Activity Theory

Today the project team met for the first time for a two day meeting at the School of Public Health at UWC.

On the first day the following issues were discussed:

- project plan
- communication and meeting strategies
- roles and responsibilities
- research agreement and ethical issues
- literature review / theoretical framework
- objectives of survey

The second day was an excellent introduction to Cultural-historical Activity Theory (CHAT) by Jo-Anne Hardman from UCT. See Michael's blog for a summary of this session.

The start of our journey...

This project is funded by the South African National Research Fund and will include participants from the following South African institutions: UWC, UCT, SU, CPUT, Wits, Rhodes, Fort Hare, UP and the OCW.
