Curious about how storytelling can transform education and create global citizens? Join us as we chat with Megan Diercks and Steven Sacco, who are on a mission to enrich language curricula through a Fulbright-Hays grant. They share their ambitious plan to take 14 educators to Côte d'Ivoire, immersing them in its vibrant culture. Discover how this initiative will bring the rich, often overlooked, histories of Francophone Africa into classrooms around the world, enabling students to feel a part of the global community.
Their team will create 14 unique curricular units for K-12 and higher education, focusing on the power of storytelling. From teaching dual language immersion at the elementary level to entrepreneurship and beekeeping for women in Francophone Africa, the units focus on the multidisciplinary applications of the stories. Megan and Steven delve into how these innovative teaching methods can foster a deeper appreciation of diverse cultures and contributions.
Megan and Steven also highlight the broader implications of integrating authentic storytelling into education, connecting African-American and African narratives to enrich learning for traditionally under-represented students. Tune in to learn more about the AATF's vision of creating virtual and physical exchanges between students and universities, and how these efforts are building bridges through education, fostering global connections, and offering a more inclusive representation of the languages and cultures of the world.
