Stereotypes and clichés about Africa. Pairwork brainstorming positive and negative ideas about Africa, followed by class Q&A to recognise that 95% of the negative perceptions could describe features of Europe, too. Band Aid song – and Africa’s mockery of it (RadiAid for Norway). Covers of Books set in Africa – the sunset, the acacia tree… Video of Taylor Swifts song Wildest Dreams including all the clichés and stereotypes – and not including a single black person.
