They are at the centre of what we do, but let's face it: Sometimes, we get in our own way. Disconnection, communication breakdowns, conflict, – these are all too common hurdles that can stall progress.
Pronounced “u·boon·too”, the word “Ubuntu” is an ancient African word meaning ‘humanity to others’. It is part of the Zulu phrase “Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu”, which literally means that a person is a person through other people. It reminds us that ‘I am what I am because of who we all are’.At The Ubuntu Space, we believe we are all interconnected in the most beautiful ways. Untold stories and unsaid words keep us apart. Whereas, unfiltered stories of joy, struggles, and perspectives bring us closer inwards and outwards.
