In this multi-day class, students will have fun exploring African culture through hands-on activities. We will learn about geography, languages, landmarks, food, animals, music & dance, and listen to folktales.

Class experience

US Grade 3 - 5
The goal of this course is to introduce students to the beauty of the African continent and its rich cultures. The continent has become synonymous with poverty, violence, disease, and little mention of the positives. It is my hope that at the end of the course, students will have a deep appreciation for the continent's diversity and the uniqueness of each country we learn about. 

At the end of the course students should be able to:
~Name and locate the region of some countries in Africa and name their capital cities.
~Complete projects that relate to the aspects of culture across the continent.
I have my Bachelors and Masters degrees in Sociology and have taken courses such as Political economies of African States, Sociology of the Third World, Social Development of Africa economies, and Symbolism in Africa amongst others. I have personally researched and studied the continent. 
In addition to my educational background, I grew up in Ghana (West Africa), hence I have had first-hand experience and a good understanding of some of its cultures. 
Homework Offered

We will have lots of hands-on activities or projects to complete each week during the course. While these projects are simple and easy to complete, please stay close to provide some help with using the scissor depending on your child's ability and level of comfort. 

In our fifth meeting, students will be guided to prepare a simple desert from South Africa. Adult supervision is needed during class and also to help your student get other ingredients ready for the class.
