Welcome to a Safe, Open and Interactive African History & Storytelling Session!
We’re here to have an honest, unfiltered conversation about the true stories of Africa—its history, cultures, challenges, and triumphs. These sessions are designed to be a curious, open, and non-judgmental environment where no question is too small, too silly, or too "ridiculous."
1. Ask ANY Question:
If something’s been bothering you, or if you've ever wondered if Africa is really the way it is always portrayed and want to know why, ask it! This is your chance to get answers that will help you see the bigger picture. From questions about traditions, the impact of colonisation, to why certain things happen in African countries today—this is your opportunity to ask without fear of judgment.
2. Anonymity = Comfort:
We know that sometimes it can feel uncomfortable asking questions in a group, especially about something as deep as African history. That’s why you’re welcome to submit your questions anonymously before the session begins. We’ll read them out and answer each one thoughtfully, with the respect and context they deserve.
3. Be Open-Minded:
When an African voice shares their experience, perspective, or historical insight, listen with an open heart and mind. The truth might not always align with what you’ve heard before, but being open to new information and willing to adjust your perspective is the key to understanding.
4. Respect & Empathy First:
This session is about learning, not judging. While we’re happy to address any questions, let’s all remember that history is complex, and no single narrative is enough to capture it all. So, approach each topic with curiosity and respect—your perspective might change, but that's the beauty of learning.
5. Think BIG, Think SMALL:
Big-picture topics (like pan-Africanism or colonial legacies) are important, but so are the smaller, more personal questions—things like day-to-day life in different African countries, how African youth see the future, or what "tradition" really means in a rapidly changing world. Every question adds value to the conversation.
6. Keep the Conversation Going:
The session doesn’t have to end when the meeting does. Continue exploring, researching, and discussing after this session. History is always evolving, and each conversation is a step toward a more complete understanding.
