Makanaka Mazheke

Given my extensive background in Southern Africa, I am a strong candidate for the position of Cultural Relations Manager in the UCL Engineers in Action Society. I bring with me a great awareness of the diversity of the region's cultures. Cultural sensitivity, inclusivity, and respect for one another are principles that I believe in, and I intend to uphold them in all facets of our humanitarian initiatives, which is why I'm running for this position. I strongly believe that our greatest strength is diversity, and we can alter the world in a significant way by genuinely interacting and knowing one another.

Our shared vision

Should I be chosen, my top priority will be to ensure that all team members are informed and conscious of the various cultures, traditions, and customs of the communities we serve. I will promote a greater knowledge of cultural nuances by drawing on my personal experience of living in Southern Africa and being fully immersed in the local way of life. I will advocate for project designs that are culturally sensitive, contextually appropriate, and respectful of local values and traditions.

My bid is not merely a quest for a title or recognition, but a solemn commitment to uphold the values of empathy, respect, and inclusivity that lie at the very heart of our organization's mission. So, I ask you, my fellow advocates for change, to cast your vote not just for me, but for the vision of a future where cultural understanding reigns supreme.
