Welcome to the COIL project: Envisioning sustainable futures in higher education, using ABCD

This is a collaboration between the Durban University of Technology, Kenyatta University and SUNY New Paltz.

On this Padlet you will find valuable information to assist you in completing your COIL project. We also encourage you to post an introductory video and to comment on at least 3 other project members' videos

# data[].attributes.body
Record a one-minute (or less) video on your phone or other device in which you respond to the following prompts:

Introduce yourself and the university and country you are coming from.

Share 3 three things about yourself that many people do not know about. (Optional: show an object, or more than one object, that represents something about what you are sharing).

Upload your video on this platform.

View all the videos of the students assigned to your group.

Provide one “flashback” comment in the Padlet for three of the videos that you watch. A “flashback” is a brief one to two sentence comment that makes a connection between you and the person in the video.

This needs to be completed by no later than Sunday, 19 March midnight

This video explains what the ABCD approach is.

Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) is a strategy for sustainable community driven development. Beyond the mobilization of a particular community, ABCD is concerned with how to link micro-assets to the macro-environment.

Hi there! My name is Mia Shonbrun, Im from NYC, Im 20 years old and I am a student at SUNY New Paltz. Some things about me are:
I have a twin brother who I am very close to and having him has allowed me to grow up with a best friend.
I am part of the LGBTQ community and identify as a queer woman and I am very proud and lucky to have accepting parents and be in an environment where I can openly identify as gay.
I practice Judaism and come from a very jewish family that goes back many generations. I have been apart of an incredible Jewish Congregation for my entire life.
I struggle with mental health disorders that have caused me to have trouble succeeding in many aspects of my life. It has caused me many setbacks throughout my life both academically and personally but while it has its downfalls, it has allowed me to view the world through different lenses and perspectives. It has given me the ability to be a more spontaneous, adventurous, and passionate person in many ways.
I apologize for the late post and I will make sure to contribute as much as I can going forward. I look forward to working with you guys!

Hi Team mates
My name is Lunga Hlongwa from South Africa, in durban to be specific.
I'm currently a student at DUT studying towards an Operations Management Diploma. I'm a caring, helpful, resilient, responsible, strict person who believes in family orientation. I love modified cars and electronics. I embarked on this journey of being the best version of myself and willing to take on any task to bring me closer to that goal. If I could resemble myself to an object it would have to be a soccer ball. No matter how hard you kick it, no matter which direction you kick it, I just keep rolling. I bounce back from any situation. Cheers
