Exposición: Enseñar África 2015

About 90 secondary education centres in the Canary Islands have joined the Centre Project launched in 2013 by the Directorate General of Planning, Innovation and Educational Development of the Ministry of Education of the Government of the Canary Islands to work with the contents of the Didactic Unit Show Africa in public secondary schools during the school year.

The work carried out by students as part of this project has resulted in the creation of a series of materials (murals, photographs, drawings, comics, texts, audiovisual materials, etc) which make up this exhibition that Casa África displays every year and which will run from 15th May to 30th December 2015.

The presentation of the work in Casa África's courtyard on the 15th will feature the participating teachers and students from some of the institutions involved.

Casa África has been the main driving force of Show Africa, an educational project whose main objective is to transfer to Spanish secondary school students a plural and diverse view of Africa, by incorporating a teaching unit that covers various issues related to Africa into their education.

The project was developed through collaboration between Casa África, the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC), the Ramón Areces Foundation and the Government of the Canary Islands.
