What We Do
At ANIKE, we explore nature-inspired Indigenous knowledge in Africa and the Diaspora. Our intention is to foster learning and Innovative thinking among youth of African descent through exposure to Africa's Indigenous Knowledge, and Inventions such knowledge enabled.
We collect, curate and disseminate Indigenous Knowledge through platforms & programs that build character, promote innovative thinking, product development & entrepreneurship.
What We Do +
Additionally, we:
- Collect Indigenous knowledge primarily from artifacts & oral sources (elders, stories, sayings, proverbs, names, praise poetry, corpus etc.) and curate to enlighten.
- Explore tools (or media) that have facilitated these indigenous practices and the evolution of such media in modern technology. Attribution of indigenous inventions to their inventors to inspire innovation is imperative e.g The Àyàn Guild and the invention of the talking drum as a tool for long-distance communication.
- Disseminate this knowledge through interactive learning platforms (e.g NatureLab) that enable a comprehension of these practices within their cultural context. Our Indigenous knowledge-based approach to learning involves highlighting the psycho-spiritual, artistic and scientific disciplines within such knowledge.
