Our Global Awareness Programme, for schools, is an educational course, delivered in class and in Africa, which aims to develop responsible global citizens, by working with the communities we support from our permanent project bases across Africa.
Students are practically involved with real world scenarios and can learn from and collaborate with our team of specialists, via live interactive calls, who live and work across these permanent bases, allowing students to learn through experience.
Our course, which has learning outcomes, such as critical thinking and communication skills, resilience and collaboration, supports the PSHE Living in the Wider World Curriculum. Students can earn ASDAN curriculum credits, to support University applications.
The modules are designed to be delivered during a lesson or as an extra-curricular activity.
Case studies include gender equality and environmental sustainability.
Because we run all our own programmes, we can offer real quality and purpose which contribute to our long-term goals and outcomes across Africa.
Our projects have been developed alongside local communities to ensure the work we do is sustainable, responsible, and relevant to the needs of these communities.
African Impact is an educational travel company which has been offering developmental programmes, including service-learning, volunteering, internships, and expeditions across Africa for over 15 years. We have offices in the Uk and Africa.
This experience has led us to developing this educational course, which we wanted to make accessible for everyone.
This is delivered online and, in the classroom, and includes live calls with our teams in Africa. Students will engage with our communities in Africa, while helping us address ongoing, real-world issues.
This programme extends the learning further as it includes an experiential journey to Africa where the students visit the community they have been supporting and immerse themselves in the country and culture, on a life-enhancing experience.
