Angela Mias is an International Education and Community Based Learning Practitioner and Facilitator who is passionate about Global Education.  She specializes in Service-Learning and believes it to be paramount for teaching and learning which leads to powerful life-changing and life-long learning with far reaching impact for all who partake of it.

With more than 40 years’ experience in community upliftment, having started out as a ballet teacher in underserved communities after graduating from the University of Cape Town Ballet School, and furthering her education qualifications with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology and Sociology from the Nelson Mandela University, she has engaged communities on all levels and across the cultural divide of a previously apartheid society, thus enriching her intercultural knowledge first hand.

Her work with international students, universities and communities has firmly established an extensive network and connections for sustained and continued engagement, having directed, designed, facilitated, coordinated and managed International Higher Education Study Abroad Programmes for the most part of the past 18 years.  Through her work she facilitates transformative learning journeys that encourage critical reflection, leadership development, and a deeper understanding of social justice and community development in South Africa.

Programmes she has worked with include Johns Hopkins and World Learning International Honours Programmes on Public Health, Boston College on South African History and the Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE) on Community Development through Service-Learning.

Angela Mias is also a published author, having launched her debut book, “Are We Not Worthy – Yet the Soil Remembers” on 18 November 2025.  It chronicles her journey through South Africa’s Land Claim Restitution process for a claim she had submitted on behalf of her family.
