As higher education institutions (HEIs) evolve to promote equity and inclusivity, these excursions are continuously refined to enhance student learning outcomes. This scholarly book explores how WIL excursions support self-directed learning (SDL) and foster skills essential for the 21st century, such as active learning, intercultural sensitivity, and epistemological access. A key focus is on the 2023 WIL excursions at North-West University (NWU), which align with South Africa's National Development Plan 2030 and the University Capacity Development Grant's (UCDG) goal of equipping graduates to address contemporary societal challenges. The book examines first-year excursions across three faculties – Education, Health Sciences, and Law – using both virtual and in-person experiences to develop intercultural citizenship, communication, and a sense of belonging. Through research-based insights, the chapters highlight how these excursions were designed and implemented to help students recognise personal biases, deepen cultural awareness, and take responsibility for their own learning. Additionally, the book underscores how students were encouraged to identify their learning needs and access resources that promote ongoing self-directed growth. By linking WIL to SDL, the book provides novel perspectives on fostering inclusivity and preparing students for their academic journeys, professional careers, and contributions to a more socially just world. pubtype: eBook doctype: Book ougenre: Book language: English copyright: @attributes: flag: N copyrightText: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
