Abstract We are six social work academics from five different universities in South Africa researching in a project funded by the NRF that spans three years (2021-2023) entitled: DECOLONISING AND INDIGENISING THE SOCIAL WORK CURRICULUM BY CO CREATING AFRICAN KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTION INCUBATORS AT HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS. The imbizo (workshop) aims to interact with academics, students, researchers and helping professionals so as to critique, reflect and share their experiences of decolonising and indigenising their teaching, learning and practice within the historically colonial work and study environments. The first segment of the workshop entails a brief presentation of the work done thusfar which is aligned to the following main project objective: To tell stories of our lived experiences of being an African. The next segment of the workshop will be based on prompts pertaining to colonialism and higher education to encourage critical self reflection culminating in robust conversations among participants linked to the following project objective: To share our experiences of the curricula we teach and our own contribution to decolonial/indigenous knowledge production. The final segment will draw the main thrusts of the workshop to a logical conclusion encouraging further personal reflections among the participants within their professional spaces.
