Abstract
An Indigenised Parenting Skills Development Programme Guided by Ubuntu-Based Principles
THEME 4: Quality management and enhancement of social services
SUB 4.4 Advancing Decolonial and Afrocentric education, research, and practice
Oral Presentation
Social work professionals are challenged to decolonise group work practice and incorporate indigenous modalities. Not much has been written on the use of the Ubuntu Bowl with a diverse group of parents who are experiencing challenges in raising adolescents. Observations from practice suggest a need for Ubuntu-based principles to be incorporated in working with diverse parents. An integrative review methodology was used to conduct a bibliographic search on parenting skills development programmes and decolonial/indigenised approaches. The Ubuntu-based principles and the Collective Fingers Theory (CFT) informed the design of the programme. It is recommended that group work curriculum should be indigenised to empower social work students and practitioners to work in diverse contexts. Considering the need to integrate indigenous knowledge systems and practice, the Ubuntu-based principles and the Ubuntu Bowl has proven to be effective in facilitating sharing of knowledge and skills between group members to navigate parenting.
