UNIVEN Hosts Third Carpentries Workshop

The first Data Carpentry workshop at UNIVEN was funded by RCCPII in 2016. The workshop was such an overwhelming success that two learners became instructors and hosted a second workshop in 2017. This year, RCCPII once again worked with staff and students at UNIVEN to bring a workshop to Thohoyandou.

Building a community of practice takes time, money, and great people. The UNIVENDA Carpentries team has been building up momentum since 2016 and have been heavily involved in the African Carpentries initiative over the past few years.

New instructors were trained in October 2017 and again in September 2018, also through workshops facilitated through RCCPII. In November 2018 the new instructors had an opportunity to teach and help alongside more experienced instructors from SAEON and the NHLS.
