myeducation

MyEducation is the crown jewel of the Afrimerican Culture Initiative Inc.’s effort to build cultural bridges in the African diaspora because education is the key to understanding. If you understand, then you will lose your fear and begin to move closer to people who are ‘culturally different’ from you. This is the aim to educate but to make it simple, fun and engaging to all.

We have experienced educators as board members and contributors who through rigorous research and development have designed curriculum that will bring our African diaspora community together in understanding. The online coursework currently in development are:

• The ‘Lives in Me’ African cultural education : This program is designed to aid our African American community as they educate themselves about African culture on their way to their maiden voyage to the motherland. The curriculum is designed around African oral tradition in order to ensure that simple cultural concepts are communicated in a relate able way. Patrons will learn the basics of African culture in a fun and engaging process.

• Financial Literacy/Entrepreneurship education: This program has been developed to honor the African entrepreneurship culture that is pervasive and relentless in the pursuit of economic empowerment. This coursework is accompanied by real world experiences provided by our MyCommunity focus which provides networking opportunities. This program is designed to be very African diaspora immigrant friendly, so we expect heavy MyCommunity participation from the African immigrant, Afro Caribbean and Afro -Latin communities.

• Friends of Africa: This program is specifically designed for our brothers and sisters of non-African descent. This program will be especially useful for people of non-African descent that work in communities of color. Human resource managers in search of professional cultural adaptation are encouraged to invest in this program. These programs are designed to aid corporate work-spaces develop diversity friendly programs that are not tone deaf to the REAL issues and nuance that affect the African diaspora experience. This is a cultural intelligence/ cultural competency building course

The above online coursework description is meant to be taught in unison with the MyCommunity focus in order to provide real life context to the concepts illustrated .
