Description

The proposed project named „Africa Without Myths“ develops teachers capacity to anchor development education into the formal education sector and contributes to raising public awareness of development issues. It also increases the capacity of the pupils´ competencies at secondary schools, in particular, competencies - to promote intercultural dialogue and break stereotypes between Slovak and Kenyan pupils, as well as to understand their (inter)connection to the Global South. The project will foster simultaneous inclusion of Global Learning (GL) on several subjects and decrease the level of stereotypes among Slovak pupils about issues related to Global South, particularly to Sub-Saharan Africa. This will help students approach issues of importance from different angles therefore developing their critical understanding of the relations linking our societies with the rest of the world and understanding of global interdependencies. The overall objective of the action is to increase awareness of Slovak society about importance of development education and development assistance by implementing activities at Slovak secondary schools.
