Teaching Africa

We’re excited to present the 2018/2019 Teaching Africa workshop series, exploring interdisciplinary approaches to teaching about the continent of Africa. Interactive workshop sessions incorporate aspects of history, literature, arts, media, international relations, geography, political science, economics, development studies, and more. Attendees discover ways to tie African themes to their own curriculum, and learn tools that bring global studies to life in the classroom.

After ten years of developing an African Studies department deeply rooted in the Humanities, African Leadership Academy. (ALA) seeks to share insights and lessons learned from educating the next generation of African leaders. Our campus in Johannesburg, South Africa has hosted exchange programs and conferences for students and educators from dozens of schools from around the world. The unique Teaching Africa events were created to support school leaders, teachers, global programs coordinators and others far beyond the bounds of our campus. The series started with two successful pilot events held in New York and Virginia in 2017. This year's workshops continue that work, with a November event in Atlanta and another in New York City during March.

Refresh and deepen your connection to historical and contemporary African topics, develop relevant and stimulating content, and rethink how you teach Africa. Register for Teaching Africa today.
