Protect and Learn
Children are also political subjects. With most of the schools closed, kids from the peripheries are at home with their families and also need to face the challenges of this period of social isolation. Why not take this time to explain about racial and cultural identity?
During the project they are creating racial and cultural identity kits for black children during social isolation through a network of black entrepreneurs and artisans. For black children to know and build their racial identity, it is essential to provide ways for them to feel represented.
The project aims to mobilize a network with black entrepreneurs and artisans to produce Abayomis, books and children’s masks with African prints in order to promote political and cultural learning.
