AFRICA RIKAI PROJECT In order to inspire people to be truly global citizens, we strive to promote understading towards Africa, both in society as well as in schools. Connecting the many coutries of Africa with Japan, lessening the distance in between through various projects, with unique ideas and approaches.
"Bringing Africa into the classrooms"
As we become more and more interdependant with one another, there is a greater and greater demand throughout the world for education that will nourish global minds in the next generation. We believe that it is of great importance, as citizens of the earth, to sustain peace, protect the environment, and have concern towards the many problems developing countries such as ones in Africa are facing. Africa-rikai project wishes to bring understanding where until now had been far too neglected. Here are some of our major activities at present.
Publishing of teaching materials
Where books on Africa had always been focused upon the negative side, we've made books bringing people into the kichens, the living rooms of Africa. Working with local publishers, we plan to publish the same books not only in Japanese, but also in English, and French.
