Workshop for kids happening at the same time in the same building! This is an opportunity to engage school-age kids chaperoned by their parents during Africa Fest to work on a simple art piece. This piece allows the children to engage with content from the continent and leave with an Africa fest and Africa-inspired memorabilia.
