understanding through interdisciplinary collaboration in teaching and research. The Programme is funded by British Academy and Global Academy of Liberal Arts. The Mentees are drawn from: The Catholic University of Eastern Africa, (Kenya); University of Namibia, (Namibia) and University of the Witwatersrand (South Africa) and Addis Ababa University (Ethiopia). The Global Academy of Liberal Arts (GALA) is a global network of creativity spanning national and cultural boundaries to broaden the experience of students and staff. The first network of its kind, GALA was created by former Bath Spa University Vice-Chancellor, Professor Christina Slade, to bring together Liberal Arts providers from around the world. GALA brings staff and students together from around the world to explore the relationship between creativity and social engagement through teaching and research collaborations and an annual meeting. Activities include joint programme development, comparative research, student exchange, remote teaching, joint student projects and visiting lectures.
