 | The future is not a result of choices among alternative paths offered by the present, but a place that is created - created first in the mind and will, created next in activity. The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made, and the activity of making them, changes both the maker and the destination.(James, 2005)
CBACS’ positioning in higher education is significant given that higher education influences all sectors of society. In the past higher education was about developing the higher faculties of the human being. This is the current focus of CBACS. |

The Metanoia Project (teach) 2007-2034 and The Metanoia Project (bac) 2007-2034 are special projects created to work specifically with the black white duality and its impact on interactions between the descendants of enslaved Africans (DoEAs) and descendants of slave owners (DoSOs). The black-white duality is an invisible legacy of slavery and defined as:
“The oppositional internalised and symbiotic inferior/superior dynamic relationship that exists between the descendants of enslaved Africans and the descendants of slave-owners. The dynamic was put in place during slavery and has been institutionalised within British culture (with its black and white sub-cultures) as the means by which the fixed power differentials between the two groups are maintained over time”.
