Framework 3 stands out to me. It highlights how African people developed their own knowledge, philosophies, and ways of understanding the world. This challenges the idea that knowledge comes primarily from Western societies. My question is: "How have African systems of knowledge and ways of thinking influenced societies and our understanding of the world?" I would use this question to help students recognize and appreciate African contributions to science, philosophy, education, and culture.
I was also struck by Framework 3 and the examples of this he gave in the video. I think your question is really powerful and can lead to such profound new understandings for students.
I always think of the longstanding institutions that various African societies have developed from one of the first universities in the world: the university of Al-Qararraouine in Fez Morocco (developed by 2 women!) or the great centers of learning and the libraries of Timbuktu!
