Project Zulu is a long-standing partnership between UWE Bristol and township and rural schools in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Through a range of educational, cultural and community projects, we work in partnership to exchange knowledge, support school-identified priorities and create opportunities for educational development and lifelong learning.

“Project Zulu has promoted friendship and life experiences, and has helped break historical racial barriers in previously disadvantaged schools.”
Mr Zondi, Principal at Sipheni Senior Primary School. 

“There can be no doubt that education transforms lives and delivers opportunities. The very special impact of performance to explore cultures and diversity is exceptionally powerful. This initiative bridges continents, cultures, opportunity and education. There can be no greater challenge and no better way to invest in futures.”
Steve West, Vice Chancellor, UWE Bristol.
