In February 2019, the UP Mamelodi Campus hosted a workshop as part of the Mamelodi Community Collaborative. The goal was to engage in a reciprocal exchange of ideas with 43 stakeholders and its international partner, Rutgers University-Newark, to develop a model that could enhance post-secondary opportunities for the residents of the Mamelodi Township. Recently, on August 2023, a new cohort of community members was invited to relaunch the Mamelodi Collaborative. The aim is to roll out the project in five different niche areas. Each group will identify a specific project to roll out during 2024, focusing on the following themes.
The members for each niche area are:
1. Broadening educational pathways
2. Leveraging arts and culture
3. Strong, healthy and safe neighbourhoods
4. Entrepreneurship and economic development
5. Science and the urban environment.
