Lagos-Nigeria, On September 4th, 2024. Correct Connect Africa Foundation (CCAF), a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting African culture and heritage, successfully hosted a seminar for secondary school teachers on Afrocentricity. The event, led by Fr. Anthony Aleakwe Odior, the General Coordinator of CCAF, aimed to provide teachers with a new perspective on education from an African lens.

The seminar, which took place at the African Cultural Learning Centre in Lagos, Nigeria, was well-received by the participating teachers. They expressed their gratitude for the opportunity to explore Afrocentricity, a concept that emphasizes the centrality of African culture, history, and experiences in the interpretation and analysis of data.

During the seminar, Fr. Anthony Aleakwe Odior emphasized the importance of incorporating Afrocentricity into the educational system. He accentuated the need to look inward introspectively and use the African narratives to promote a more inclusive and representative curriculum.

The teachers were highly engaged throughout the event, asking thought-provoking questions and actively participating in discussions. They acknowledged the value of the new insights they gained and expressed their commitment to incorporating African experiences into their teaching practices.

CCAF’s commitment to promoting African culture and heritage through educational initiatives has been a driving force behind the organization’s success.
