African History for Africa's Children
Connecting our children to the heritage of Africa's rich history
About Us
In the last few decades, rapid shifts in the evolution of African early-years and basic educational curricula have occurred at the expense of traditional subjects like history, thereby weakening the connection between young African kids of today with the continent’s rich historical and cultural heritage.
​
Learn-History Africa's mission is to help preserve the connection between African children and Africa’s rich history, by giving children a modern and positive perspective of African history and culture; and providing them with an environment to explore the subject of African history in an immersive way, that is interactive, exciting, and yet highly educational.
​
Learn-History Africa offers a week-long summer camp for kids aged 6-13, as an immersive educational experience that triggers kid’s curiosity to pursue further knowledge of African history, and obtain the wisdom and ‘grounding’ that comes with this knowledge. LearnHistory AFrica

Activity Based Learning
Our learning approach allows kids to learn in a relaxed atmosphere and in an enjoyable way. All learning is activity-based and designed around things that kids truly love to do.

Interactive Technology Enabled
Our camp curriculum includes daily tasks designed to provide useful exposure to interactive technology, allowing kid campers to further practice applying technology skills to solving problems.
