The Ethical Storytelling: How to write about Africa course

The Ethical Storytelling: How to write about Africa course provides tips and tools to help communicators undo the stereotypes that persist in many of the storytelling outputs of local and international NGOs, donors and foundations working on the continent. The course addresses privilege and bias, highlights the importance of consent and context, and the need for investing time to build relationships with people and projects. 

Ultimately, the course hopes to change the usual behaviour that leads to biased and stereotypical stories about Africa in development communications. It was inspired by Africa No Filter’s ethical storytelling handbook - How to Write About Africa in 8 Steps - and designed by the e-learning platform, Digemy. The best way to tackle the course is to do it over a four-week period, taking an hour each time.
