This October, the Pan African Academy is offering two free online workshops that connect important African and African diaspora history with skills children can use in their own lives.
Each live, interactive session combines engaging historical teaching with discussion, practical activities and a specially designed worksheet. Children will not only learn about a significant historical figure, but explore what that person’s life can teach them about courage, communication and their own potential.
Places are limited to 20 children per workshop.
