Exploring the Intersections of African Pedagogy, Montessori, and Artificial Intelligence in Liberatory EducationAbout this EventOverviewIn an era dominated by AI, algorithms, and disembodied learning, children and adults alike are facing unprecedented challenges: disconnection from self and spirit, dopamine-driven tech addiction, loss of imagination, and behavioral mislabeling of grief or protest.This three-day hybrid gathering offers a deep dive into African pedagogical wisdom, liberatory Montessori practices, and ancestral technologies as antidotes. Together, we will explore how to raise and teach children—and prepare ourselves as parents, educators, and leaders—to stay rooted in humanity while navigating the AI era.Why This Master Class Matters NowAI is no longer just a tool—it is shaping the consciousness of the next generation. But we are not powerless.
