Learning differently: the countries we work with show us the way!
In recent years, African collectives have been experimenting with new pedagogical approaches that emphasize collective intelligence, knowledge sharing, creativity and the co-construction of knowledge and solutions. These «learning» collectives (in the sense that they promote learning among peers and within the community) are playing an increasingly important role in facilitating local dialogue, building the skills of local players and helping them take action to reinvent the way they live in the world. Fablabs, third places, incubators, learning communities and innovation campuses are just some of the dynamics that are multiplying in Africa today, illustrating once again the power and speed of innovation on this continent.
To better understand and learn from these dynamics, the AFD Campus has launched this study on learning ecosystems in Africa. It will enable you to discover some of the 200 initiatives identified in 12 countries, and to understand how these dynamics represent operational solutions capable of enhancing regional development and reinforcing the skills needed in the 21st century to enable project leaders to become agents of change, in the service of transitions and sustainable development objectives.
