Скачать или смотреть AFRICAN INDIGENOUS ELDERS CRITICAL TEACHINGS (ELDECRITS) FOR EDUCATIONAL REFOEMS

Global challenges in education now demand approaches that meet both local needs and global
realities, and this has necessitated the search for new ways to educate African learners. This search
has taken us in many directions, yet, we have ignored one of the most important sources of wisdom:
the voices of Indigenous African Elders. This inquiry workshop aims to correct that oversight. It
brings together stakeholders, educators, Indigenous African Elders, community leaders, and
students to explore how to include the critical teachings of Indigenous Elders (ElderCrits) into
education. These teachings are found in folklore, symbols, artefacts, poetry, ritual drama,
ceremonies, sculpture, artistic expressions, storytelling, legends, fables, myths, riddles, and
proverbs. The goal is to bring Indigenous knowledge into school curricula and modern teaching
practices. The workshop will also discuss how to reform education systems and create supportive
policies that allow Indigenous Elders to be more present and involved in classrooms.
