At the Ubuntu Village, governments and businesses exposed best practice
examples in a colourful exhibition on sustainable development and held
additional workshos and conferences. Ubuntu Village also served as the
transport and recreational hub of the Johannesburg Summit and was located
about four kilometres from the UN Summit at the Sandton Convention Centre.
It was a focal point for Summit participants where they were able to enjoy
various forms of entertainment while interacting on common ground with
other World Summit stakeholders. Ubuntu was also be the logistical link
between the Global Peoples Forum and the UN Summit -- people traveling
between the two venues will have to pass by Ubuntu.
