Education, Culture and History
This unit will conduct humanistic research and consultancy with the main goal of building strong human and cultural relationship, understanding, unity and peace between people within Ontario and KWC is the purpose of this program. Research and consultancy in the education sector will also be another important segment of this network. We understand that there is a gap between the African Diaspora in North America and the Northern American community in North America, we will try to intellectually and academically build this gap. The gap is also between Africans in Africa and Northern Americans in North America. We hope to work towards enhancing the cultural, humane and academic relationships between the two locations.
Transcending the narratives
Several books, documentaries and conferences with an intellectual content and flavor will be produced by the team in this cluster. The overarching work of this group will be covered by donations and mainly work to garner social and humanistic goods. Importunately, as much we try to learn from the Canadian and Western experiences of successes in modern education, we will also try to further our research and consultancy work on indigenous and decolonizing of education. An issue that is given less attention, especially in Ontario is the quality of education and also important features of the education system such as Black, At Risk students and special needs education.
New Project
We are launching a new self-proposed project in this cluster starting in 2025. It is a book project documenting the historical relationship between Canada and Africa. In addition, the second core aim of the project is profiling or writing the biographies of significant racialized Canadians, who have made immense contributions to the betterment of their communities and globally.
The project follows a historical narrative method of data collection and writing.
Funding for this project has not been raised but calls will go out in a few months.
If you are interested in this project and would like to support it in anyway or recommend names, please email us at: info@canafro.com
