WELCOME TO THE PAN AFRICAN ACADEMY!

It is great to have you here...

The Pan African Academy is an education and cultural platform exploring African history, identity and the African world. Through children's education, cultural storytelling, conversations and events, we create spaces to learn from our past, understand our present and imagine our future.

EXPLORE THE ACADEMY

CHILDREN

We bring African history to life through courses and resources that go beyond learning about the past. Children discover extraordinary stories, people and ideas, while developing their confidence, strengthening their sense of identity and building skills for their future.

WORK WITH SCHOOLS

We collaborate with educational institutions to enrich their history offering, ensuring the inclusion of comprehensive and accurate African narratives. This can be through planning sessions with history departments, or student workshops and assemblies.

THE PALOR

The adult home of The Pan African Academy, with visual essays, cultural notes, conversations and gatherings exploring the experiences, questions and ideas that matter across Africa and its diaspora.

MEET THE FOUNDER

​Ekaete Alfred is a passionate educator and committed Pan-Africanist with over a decade of experience teaching history in secondary schools across London. Recognising the need for meaningful and authentic engagement with African history, she founded The Pan African Academy to create new ways for children and adults to learn about and engage with Africa’s past.

Through The Pan African Academy, Ekaete creates educational experiences for children that use African history not only to deepen their knowledge, but as a vehicle for personal development and a stronger understanding of who they are and where they come from.

Through her writing, content and public conversations, she explores African history alongside the issues shaping Africa and its diaspora today.

Ekaete also works with schools, educators and organisations, drawing on her experience in education to support meaningful engagement with African history.

Would you like to explore how The Pan African Academy can support your child, school or organisation, or work with Ekaete on a project? Let’s connect.
