Teacher Training in the Anitafrika Method
This teacher-training course is for anyone interested in studying, practising and using the Anitafrika Method in their practice as an artist, teacher and/or decolonial facilitator. The pre-requisite for this programme is the successful completion of an Anitafrika Method Residency.
Curated by d’bi.young anitafrika, the Anitafrika Method teacher-training was devised specifically as a train-the-trainer course. The certification in the Anitafrika Method entitles the practitioner to teach the method throughout the world.
