SEDD AFRICA

Rewriting Africa’s Story, One Voice at a Time

About us

SEDD Africa empowers young Africans to reclaim and celebrate their histories through storytelling competitions that celebrate African languages, culture, and aesthetics. We spotlight authentic stories that build cultural pride and shape new narratives for Africa’s future. 


Some of these remarkable stories are then published as anthologies that are manually and digitally distributed across schools. Ultimately, we hope that some of these stories encourage and inspire African youths to become entrepreneurs and innovators who create the future they want.

What we do

We work with young people across Africa, especially students aged 12–25, giving them a platform to share stories that reflect their realities and dreams. Our reach extends to educators, policymakers, and cultural advocates eager to integrate these stories into classrooms and communities.

The mystery of storytelling is the miracle of a single living seed
which can populate whole acres of human minds.

Why is this important?

 

For centuries, Africa has supported the world, but its stories have been silenced,

distorted, or ignored. This misrepresentation fuels identity crises, cultural disconnect, and lost opportunities for young people. By "flipping the script, " we strengthen cultural identity, inspire creativity, and unlock economic potential in Africa’s $29 billion creative economy.

Testimonials 

Museum Tales

Celebrates cultural heritage and the importance of experiential learning. It emphasizes how museums preserve history and inspire young minds. Its detailed descriptions of Igbo artifacts reflect authentic classroom dynamics with robust educational value and a clear structure (preparation + journey + museum visit + return).

Legend Never Lie

Explores the tension between childhood skepticism and the harsh reality of cultural myths. It conveys the idea that folklore is not merely entertainment but a repository of warnings and wisdom. It is built on a strong emotional core, vivid imagery, authentic Igbo cultural elements, and effective first-person narration, making the trauma personal.

The Path Less Traveled


It impressed me that young Africans at that level could imagine the strengths

in their heritage and weave.
