Teaching Africa Day: Storytelling through the Ages. Past, Present, Future

Teaching Africa Day is an annual, interactive, family-friendly event that brings together educational resources on Africa’s rich cultural heritage. Now in its 9th year, Teaching Africa Day provides a platform for educators, families, and the DMV community to showcase books, films, games, programs, and other resources on Africa and its rich and vibrant heritage in one place. Through an intergenerational panel discussion, readings, performances, an African marketplace, and artmaking workshops, Teaching Africa Day offers diverse narratives to teach, engage, and increase students' appreciation for the Arts of Africa.<br><br>Arts and Industries Building, Saturday Sept. 7, 11am--5pm<ul><li>11:00am Parade of Flags</li><li>11:10am Welcome</li><li>11am-5pm Marketplace featuring educational resource and cultural arts and crafts</li><li>11am-5pm Art-making workshops focused on African proverbs, beads, weaving, doll making, and painting</li><li>11:30am Story Reading</li><li>12pm Lunch provided</li><li>1pm Story Reading</li><li>1:20pm Dance Performance</li><li>2pm Professional Storyteller</li><li>2:30 Moderated Panel Discussion "Diaspora Stories of the DMV"</li><li>3:40pm Dance Performance</li><li>5pm Program Concludes</li></ul>
