DrumTalk 2010 (Oct 14-17, 2010)

Afrika Yetu’s Arts-In-Education programs aim to:
Educate and promote diversity, cultural awareness and understanding through the presentation of African arts and Global Culture. Student participants will broaden their view of the world by communicating with artists, musicians, instructors and other students from different countries. Instill and increase a sense of creativity in student participants. Give learners of all ages and backgrounds an understanding of African arts and culture. Students throughout the United States and abroad participate in our cultural school programs. These students come from various socio-economic backgrounds and races, and include all age groups, from pre-school to senior citizens.

Our educational programs focus on four areas:

• Humanities and Educational Programs
• Cultural Exchange Programs
• Community Outreach Programs
• Main stage Performances

Afrika Yetu’s Arts-In-Education programs provide the social, cultural, and recreational programs and activities coordinated each semester with various arts and social organizations.

This is to enable a student-centered approach, which emphasizes the individual needs of students, educational programming and appreciation and respect for diversity and global awareness. Each student will, at least, have had an opportunity to both discover a culture other than his/her own, and to rethink any assumptions or biases about that culture.
