Nelson Mandela International Day, which has enjoyed 10 years of global support and solidarity since it was launched in 2009, is celebrated on July 18, 2020.

In 2019, the Nelson Mandela Foundation launched a new Mandela Day strategy, titled Mandela Day: The Next Chapter, to mark the tenth anniversary of the initiative. The next 10 years are focused on mobilizing people, governments, civil society and corporations to focus on five areas:

education and literacy
food and nutrition
shelter
sanitation
active citizenship<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


Online Student Life & Leadership, the Center for International Programs and the Center for Civic Learning & Community Engagement have put together an International Community Engagement experience using Padlet technology to connect our SPC family with resources that help them engage with the priorities of Nelson Mandela.
