Educational programmes

From the ancient kingdom of Cush to modern times, from the great Queen Nefertiti to Queen Cleopatra, from Leo Africanus to Ibn Battuta, Shea and its benefits have been an integral part of African history.

Dear parents, teachers, organizations,

SaWaShea, as a knowledge sharing platform, offers a unique opportunity to learn about Shea, the “Green Gold of Africa”, through presentations and/or workshops at your school, organization or place of your choice. Through the below four programs offered, the participants do not only have the opportunity to learn about Shea, but also to:

o Discover African history and geography, with a focus on West Africa
o Open themselves to new cultures
o Exchange and interact with each-other
o Be exposed to new media skills

We would be happy if the four programs below awaken your interest to join us in this solidarity alliance that we are building with African women producing Shea products.
