We are teaching school children living in Africa to publish their stories online, from schools without books or internet.
A challenge launched with our partners Wiki in Africa and Wiki In Africa in 9 countries.
How do we do it?
With our digital kits already provided to our 1400 Digital Schools to access school content and learn digital!
Crafts, covid, fauna & flora, rites, traditions, terrorism, customs, cuisine, cities, monuments, natural phenomena, ethnic groups... they tell an aspect of their culture, their daily life, their history...
Behind their publications, discover the words and views of children on an unknown Africa, theirs.
