Abstract
ICA’s training programmes are indisepensable in
Sorbonne University Abu
advancing scholarship and capacitating archival
Dhabi
educators towards addressing topical issues in the
broader discipline of records nad archives
management. In August 2019, I was privileged to
participate in a Digital Records Curation Programme
Study School facilitated by James Lowry and
Margaret Crockett as part of ICA’s Africa Programme.
The study school occurred at an opportune time
when the Records Management Department at the
National University of Science and Technology in
Zimbabwe was in the process of rebranding its
Bachelor’s Degree programme in Records and
Archives Management and reviewing the curriculum
to match the many digital advancements that have
engulfed the world across all disciplines, including
records and archives management. Using the content
and knowledge I acquired during the training
programme, I was able to contribute immensely to
the curriculum review and rebranding exercises. The
proposed changes have since been approved by
Zimbabwe’s Council on Higher Education and the
department’s name changed to Information
Management and Technology. The newly approved
programme is expected to commence in the next
academic year beginning August 2021. Using the
knowledge I gained from the training programme, I

L
IGHTING also developed a Digital Curation syllabus for the
Bachelors’ Degree in Records management and
TALK Archival Science at Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi.
