Global Awareness for Future Teachers
Model projects of the DAAD program 'Lehramt.International' promote the internationalization of teacher education. The project 'Global Awareness for Future Teachers' of the TüSE enables and supports international student exchange, teacher exchange and other international projects. Wits is one of the partner universities of this project.
Sibhudu
The rockshelter of Sibhudu is a key site of the South African Middle Stone Age (MSA), a crucial time period for the early cultural evolution of our species. In 1998, Lyn Wadley of the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, began excavations at the site. After over a decade and over 20 field seasons, Wadley handed over the excavation of Sibhudu to Nicholas Conard (University of Tübingen) in 2011.
