Dirisana+

Dirisana plus is a knowledge triangle project co-funded by Erasmus plus of the European Union.
Knowledge triangle in this project refers to the interaction between higher education, business,
research and technology facilitated by innovation and collaboration and working towards
sustainability.
Dirisana, a Setswana word, especially spoken in north-western Gauteng, was the name given to the
project as it reflects its origins and means “Working together” of three South African universities and
two Namibian universities (representing the plus in the project name) as well as two European
universities.
This project was initiated to address universal educational challenges to ensure quality education by
collaborating with others. Educational training opportunities for staff have been provided,
communal teaching material banks were created, and collaborative educational research was
initiated. Preparation of projects occurred in 2021, development in 2022 and dissemination from
2023.
