Who is this Course for?

This E-course is suitable for children from 6-13 years.
I have structured it in such a way that older children, parents, and teachers can benefit from the lessons, learning materials, and resources.

Are you a parent that wants to explore African history with your children?
Are you a homeschooler, teacher, or a curious adult who simply loves to learn?
This Course will present African history to you in a fun, decolonized way and provide you with the materials and resources to share this information with your children, students, nieces, and nephews.

The Great Marcus Garvey once said: " This race of ours gave civilization, gave art, gave science, gave literature to the world.

The Learning Experience

This is a self-paced E-course with lifetime access.
Students will learn about African history from a decolonized perspective and in a way that honors the contributions of the African ancestors.

This friendly course is designed to acquire knowledge and show appreciation for the great contribution of the African ancestors in the areas of:
1. Education (Philosophy, Writing, Mathematics & Astrology)
2. Science & Technology (Metallurgy, Electricity)
3. Architecture & Design (Great Zimbabwe, Pyramids, Obelisks)
4. Medicine (Imhotep, Healers, the midwives of Bunyoro, African herbs)
5. Agriculture & Food Technology

At the end of each lesson, there is an opportunity for self-reflection, to pulse check, and enquire:

Testimonials

I signed up my 6yr old daughter for the ‘Great Contributions to Civilization from Africa’ summer course and we are loving every minute of it!

My 9yr old ended up joining and loving it too, she says it was not the summer school she was expecting - it was far better!

Both girls are learning so much and come away after each lesson with a positive perception and memory of Africa and the capabilities and achievements of Africans. The course was made relatable by referencing the tools and methods we use everyday and linking them back to the advancements of their ancestors.

Tamkara’s nature is genuinely gentle, supportive and positive. She is so caring, respectful and encouraging when teaching and it makes the kids feel valued and deserving which is such a great bonus on top of the history lessons!

I definitely recommend the course for anyone wanting to have a more accurate perception of Africa. It’s great for the children to learn this while they are young and before they learn about the world from a colonised perspective in school/media etc. The course would also be a great resource for homeschooling as it is broken down into weekly themes ‘science and tech’ ‘architecture and design’ etc.
