The utilization of the African Ubuntu Philosophy within a South African University was successful and showed that the approach promoted teamwork and collaboration among the students, it further ensured the provision of leadership roles during classroom activities. The application of the participatory culture framework contributed to the promotion of Sustainable Development Goals 4 and 5 within the classroom environment.
