Africa: General overview - Is Africa a country or a continent?

What is the difference between a country and a continent anyway? Where is Africa? Who lives there? What languages do they speak out there? What kinds of political systems exist? These questions will be answered by tackling the Africa of then and of now in the context of the continent's past and present political, traditional, social-economic and cultural climate.

African Storytelling:

The authors have been doing African storytelling for years. Indeed, their writing originated in storytelling and story songs. Their storytelling is geared to young audiences (approximately 4-12 year olds) and the young at heart. Through storytelling they teach gently the lessons of diversity, acceptance, love, etc, and present the world as a place for all to live and enjoy - humans, animals and plants.
