This unique four week course for adults is aimed at both qualified and unqualified teachers, community workers and parents, who wish to explore alternative ways to educate Black/African children.

This course has been designed by the award-winning educationalist and writer, David Simon who is the author of the best-selling Genius series that includes the books, How to Unlock Your Child’s Genius and How to Unlock Your Genius Using Black History.

Based on Simon’s thirty-four years of working as an independent educationalist in the UK, the Caribbean and Africa, this course will equip adults with the fundamentals of addressing the crisis that currently exists all over the world in the education of children of African descent.
