Weaving African history into the primary history curriculum can make it an integral component of teaching, rather than just being restricted to Black History Month once a year.
Intended audience: teachers and subject leaders of Primary History
Intended outcomes:
Colleagues will be more knowledgeable about aspects of African history
Colleagues will be able to plan weaving aspects of African history into their curriculum mapping
This one and a half hour webinar will show how schools can weave more African history in
its own right in to their curriculum maps and planning, beyond the usual Black History Month. It will show how African history can be included:
through the choice of significant individuals studied
in depth through looking at Ancient Egypt`s relations with the neighbouring black kingdom of Kush,
in depth through the history of Ancient Benin
in depth by linking to remembrance through the study of the service of African soldiers to the British Empire in both world wars.
