SITES VISITS:
ACMS backed SharingSpace colleagues for organising visits in different sites of the city, according to their research interests, either by directly accompanying them to these places or putting them in contact with key local stakeholders. Among sites visited: Hillbrow, Soweto, Melville, The Central Business District, Diepsloot, Alexandra, Jeppestown, Maboneng precint.
Behind Jo’burg: Taking advantage of the new contacts and networks built up during their stay in Johannesburg, SharingSpace researchers autonomously expanded their area of (inter)action carrying out research and/or networking activities in other cities of South Africa (Cape town) and bordering countries (Maputo in Mozambique)
