How to teach (de)colonization from an African perspective? 

The BOKUNDOLI platform – developed by Congolese historians – brings together a wealth of knowledge and teaching ressources on the history of Africa and the DR Congo!

Dossiers and quizzes highlight topics such as the ancient African empires, slavery, colonization, resistance, and democracy.
