Ko Nipa Africa! -- Teach about Africa! Challenging Stereotypes about Africa
Karman, Marianna; Marfoldi, Nora
Hungarian Educational Research Journal, v11 n4 p449-462 2021
Designed for three age groups, Ko Nipa Africa! -- Teach about Africa! awareness-raising and sensitization education program is aimed at developing social competencies, especially empathy, social sensitivity, and tolerance in childhood. In addition, its main task is to transform the misconceptions and prejudices about Africa present in Hungary with active learning. The series of programs seeks to bring the diverse cultural, natural, and historical values of the African continent closer to the younger generation using the approach of global education, and the method, and tools of experiential pedagogy. Since the founding of the program series in 2012, it has been tested, implemented, and reworked in dozens of educational institutions, and several studies have demonstrated positive changes in students' thinking as the result of sensitization.
