We are honoured and excited to share that Love Howick has been selected as a key case study for an international research consortium exploring community development and social repair across South Africa, Brazil, Canada, and the UK! 🌍❤️
Academics from six universities visited us recently as part of the “Repairing Sociality, Safeguarding Democracy” project, which investigates how communities foster connection, trust, and deep equality in diverse societies.
Our Love Cities model (built on narrative change, partnership platforms, and community-led transformation) is being studied alongside global examples of everyday practices that strengthen democracy and social fabric.
A huge thank you to Prof Christi van der Westhuizen, Prof Bhekithemba Mngomezulu, Prof Thabisani Ndlovu, and the entire research team for spending time with us, listening to our stories, and recognising the power of local action.
This is a proud moment not just for Love Howick, but for South African community-driven development. Together, we are showing how ordinary people can create extraordinary change 💪
