More about the project
The network brings together teams of experienced scholars from South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Sweden and the UK, who will work with African early career researchers and practitioners.
The idea is to share practices and experience of high-quality, ethical, locally engaged, culturally appropriate, participatory storytelling research methodologies for working with teachers and learners to address learning exclusions.
Two workshops will take place in 2018, one in South Africa and one in Kenya. The funded activities will create the conditions and relationships to sustain an ongoing network to support, highlight and apply the results of this important work in, and beyond, Africa.
Participating early career researchers will be mentored in project development and research funding, as well as taking part in workshop activities to develop their skills in engaging in African schools through storytelling approaches.
The project is part of the research in the Linnaeus University Centre for Concurrences in Colonial and Postcolonial Studies research group.
