A past Children's African Story Hour.

media release: The African Studies Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, in collaboration with the Madison Public Library, the African Center for Community Development, and University Apartments is proud to present the Children’s African Story Hour.

Join us as we share award-winning children’s literature with food, music, & activities that celebrate the diversity of culture, art, and language across the African continent. Participants will engage in hands-on projects and will have the opportunity to sample different African cuisines. Each week promises to be fun and enriching! The event is free and designed for children ages 5–10 and their caregivers but all are welcome!
