Side Quest – Ubuntu

Introduction

Welcome to the penultimate (second to last) side quest. Here you will learn a little more about Ubuntu, the African philosophy about human connection. You will learn too about gratitude, and why it’s important to practice it.

You have finally returned to society after a difficult journey, and the first step is to be connect back to your community, and be grateful of your return.

Challenge 2:

When you’re finished, fill out the exercise sheet on gratitude, to help you reflect on what makes you grateful.

Challenge 3:

The following three videos will help you to understand the benefit of human connection, how to be connected during the Covid pandemic, and how Ubuntu will help you to practice connection. Good luck with the quiz afterwards!
