dc.description.abstractThis chapter aims to unveil the utilisation of Ubuntu beyond its original sociocultural context. The authors argue an alternative understanding of how the African philosophy can be utilised, especially in regions where the social work profession is developing. A prominent programme, which aims at building rural communities in China, is therefore chosen for deliberation. The authors interviewed the direct practitioners of the programme and analysed their viewpoints to illuminate the uses of Ubuntu in the local context. It is found that their understanding was generally consistent with the ideas stated in the literature. The implications for professional development and training needs were also discussed. Nevertheless, the difficulties and challenges with regard to utilising Ubuntu in local practice were also identified.en_US
