                                            How is the African continent being represented in Austrian schoolbooks? 🌍📚
As of now, many textbooks in History and Geography depict the living realities on the African continent in a very one-sided way. By almost exclusively focusing on poverty, hunger and conflict, the books that children learn from omit important parts of Africa’s history and present. This leads to racialized discrimination of kids with African heritage and instills stereotypical thinking in Austrian schoolchildren from a very young age.
The initiative AEWTASS aims to improve the image of Africa that is being conveyed in Austrian classrooms. Hear more about this important work in the podcast available through ’s bio! 🎙️
