Outreach Program

Here is what the African Studies Program can offer you!!

The IU African Studies Program is home to a federally funded Outreach Program for schools, colleges, universities, community groups, non-profit institutions, businesses and other organizations.

Performances & Presentations: The African Studies Program has many talented performers and speakers, both native-born Africans and scholars and students with extensive experience in these African traditions. These cultural presentations are tailored to fit your specific educational needs; we are excited to work with you to develop activities that will be meaningful and rewarding to your students:

African Artifacts Kits: These kits range from African musical instruments to fabrics, crafts, and games.

If you are interested in any of the above materials or presentations, please contact us at: ascharfe@indiana.edu. We look forward to hearing from you.

In addition, ASP Outreach is partnered with a consortium of centers on campus to provide the following opportunities in your classroom:

Global Speakers Service: Faculty and students make presentations on Africa and other world areas to commuities and schools in Indiana both in person and on interactive video. Contact gss@indiana.edu.

International Studies for Indiana Schools (ISIS): Through interactive video ISIS brings Indiana University's international studies specialists into elementary, middle, and high school classrooms, in both rural and urban communities throughout Indiana. Contact isis@indiana.edu.

Outreach Reporting
African Studies faculty and students engage in various outreach activities in the course of the academic year. The African Studies Program needs to track such activities for the purpose of Title VI reporting. In order to facilitate our Title VI reporting process, we would like to ask our faculty and students to the electronic form at the following link to record their outreach activities. Thank you.
