We create immersive educational travel experiences that connect Afro-diasporic youth and allies with the rich histories, cultures, and living heritage of African and Afro-descendant communities across Canada and around the world.

 

For generations, Afrodiasporic histories have been erased, fragmented, or told through perspectives that do not fully reflect the richness and diversity of our experiences. This has shaped not only how Black and Afrodiasporic communities are understood by others, but how young people understand themselves and their interconnected histories, connect with their heritage, and experience a sense of belonging.

​

We created Afrika Outbound to help bridge these disconnects.

​

By connecting young people with Afrodiasporic histories and communities through primary source intergenerational learning, we create opportunities to discover what connects us across different backgrounds and generations. We want youth to recognize that their histories are inseparable from Canadian and global history, and that their identities and contributions belong within every part of these shared narratives. We want youth to reclaim their role in shaping how those stories are preserved and shared.

​

Our work goes beyond learning history. It's about building connections, strong identities, and ensuring the next generation has the confidence and opportunity to define its own narrative.
