Stay hydrated at all times, but only water and non alcoholic drink.
With the upcoming festive season around the corner, you will either be going home or taking a well-deserved vacation. To arrive at your given destination, road transport will be required at some stage of your journey.

Here is a reminder of the basic road rules:

1. Focus on the road and ditch the cellphone – it is illegal to use your cellphone while driving
2. Rather stay hydrated with water and non-alcoholic drinks, because drinking and driving is prohibited
3. Keep to the speed limit. Speed kills
4. Whether you are a driver or passenger, make sure that you update friends and family about your whereabouts
5. Take frequent breaks to refresh. Fatigue is dangerous.

Travel safely and happy holidays!

Susanne Gottuck from Bielefeld University in Germany visited the UFS on 4 October 2012 to welcome the university to the prestigious EduWel Initial Training Network. Generously funded by the EU Commission for four years (2010-2014), the programme focuses on the development of 15 early-stage researchers, supported by senior researchers in nine countries. The early-stage researchers work on the common theme of 'education as welfare'. Following the arrival of Professor Melanie Walker at the UFS, we are now an associate partner of this innovative research capacity-building project. Slides from the presentation about EDUWEL can be obtained from Lucretia Smith (smithl3@ufs.ac.za). While at the university, Susanne also presented a seminar on her research on a Pedagogy of Migration and the concept of 'critical culturalization'.
