Workshop Offerings

Full School Assembly
African Soul International’s school assemblies are an amazing opportunity to bring students, faculty and staff together for a fun and educational event. Our assemblies can include: Dancers, drummers, storytellers, singers, stilt walkers, PowerPoint presentations, Hip-Hop, West African Dance and more.


Voyage to Africa
This performance will trace the roots of music and song to Africa, them trace the vestiges of them through various dances in the U.S. and Caribbean islands. The fun voyage ends in today’s Hip-Hop, with the entire audience participating in a call and response of Nas’ motivational song,“I Know I Can”. 

Kingdoms of Antiquity
​Ever wondered what pre-colonial Africa looked like? This presentation explores the first university in Timbuktu, the Songhai and Mali Kingdoms, the land of the Ashanti Gold Coast, and great historic figures such as King Sundiata Keita, Mansa Musa and more.

Hip-Hop “Started Out in the Dark”
Explore the positive side of this popular art form through songs, history and fun dance moves. This assembly takes students back to the beginnings of Hip-Hop to understand the agency and self-determination of its origin. Tracing through positive, fun and uplifting songs, styles and dances, this assembly promises a whole new outlook on Hip-Hop and what it means in the world. 

Black Scientists and Inventors
Did you know the first video game was created by Gerald Lawson, an African-American engineer who lived in Santa Clara, California? He created games to ‘teach’ something and often said he was disappointed in today’s games, since he never imagined games being violent. From Louis Latimer, Garrett A. Morgan, Louis Pasteur and Elijah McCoy to Patricia Banks (who created the first laser eye probe), African-Americans have contributed to significantly to the world as we know it. This fun and educational presentation explores those discoveries.

Professional Development
​For Teachers

​Engaging Multicultural Learners
Students learn in myriad ways. This workshop facilitates a space to explore and challenge ourselves as teaching professionals to ensure that students we engage and measure the success of students who learn differently. This will allow us to ensure that within our language, delivery and own understanding of the content, that we are not projecting assertions of the ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ ways of problem solving.

Teaching Social Justice in the Classroom
We are in a time where social injustice, discrimination, abuse and inappropriate conduct are being called out. This workshop will explore techniques and tools to prepare our students to not only call out things that are inequitable, but to not participate in them in the first place? How do we engage our students in developing a sense of fairness and equity that will impact this and future generations? 

Implicit Bias

Our brains naturally categorize things and people when we meet them. This workshop explores how our social conditioning, upbringing, and entertainment vehicles create a bias in how we perceive others, while teaching how to properly assess and deal with them.

Why do people say that Black Lives Matter?
This workshop teaches students how to understand coded language, and social justice in today’s world. ​
