The Educational Innovation Group in Social Sciences (DIMPA) of the Universitat Jaume I of Castelló has created several educational materials that aim to break clichés about the African continent and bring us closer by creating links to share history, customs, music, gastronomy and proximity. The publication is part of the project "Àfrica dona molt de joc" [Africa gives a lot of scope] promoted by the Office for Development Cooperation and Solidarity and the Permanent Immigration Observatory of the UJI.

The teaching materials have been developed by science researcher and UJI senior Enric Ramiro Roca; teaching staff from the Social Sciences Area; teachers, Sara Prades Plaza and José Vicente Gil Noé, who are also members of the DIMPA group; the mathematics teacher at the Alzira EPA, Pilar Gandía Esteve and the writer and English teacher at the Torrent EPA, Irene Lado Monserrat.

This new educational tool is made up of a booklet that serves as an introduction to the image we have of Africa with the analysis of the answers to a survey in which 400 people from all over the country were asked to say three words about the African continent; a planisphere in Peters' projection that respects the size of the countries and continents, provided by the Valencian ONGD Coordinating Committee; a mathematical game that brings together images of the continent, some of them surprising; and a set of 12 micro-stories in which Valencian and African populations mix together and where relevant cultural, geographical and gastronomic aspects of both cultures appear. They also aim to spread a message that favours knowledge and tolerance towards other cultures and religions, as well as promoting gender equality and respect for other sexual orientations.

The material, which can be consulted in the UJI Library and in all those that have a collaboration agreement, aims to create links between the Valencian and African communities, while giving a new image of the impoverished continent, which is actually  one of the richest in the world. The audios are recorded in Valencian by Africans and Afro-descendants from various countries who give an example of interculturalism and appreciation for the territory, while mixing heritage and customs. In total they are recordings of about five minutes through which we can enjoy the stories and get to know Valencian people and countries such as the Malagasy Republic, South Africa, Ethiopia, Senegal, Benin, the Sahara, Cameroon, Ghana and Morocco, among many others. The material is aimed at an intergenerational audience and can be reproduced by cultural and social entities that request it. It also has complementary material for educational centres and work is being done to make it available online through the Internet and the media.

In addition to numerous individual persons, other institutions have also collaborated such as the NGO Ameafrica, Delegation of Missions of the Diocese of Segorbe-Castelló, L'Alcúdia City Council, Valencian Association for Solidarity with Africa, Orriols Convive, EPA Vicent Ventura (Valencia), EPA of Torrent, Movement for Peace-MPDL, NGO Puerta de África, Valencian NGDO Coordinating Committee, ONG Casa África, ONG Escuelas Solidarias, Asociación Colectiva AfroLatidos, EPA of Sueca, CEIP Joan de Brusca of Albocàsser , CEIP Virgen María del Patrocinio of Foios, IES of Ibi, Colegio Oller II of València, CEIP Arbre Blanc of Mutxamel, CEFIRE of Castelló de la Plana and the universities of València-Estudi General, Jaume I of Castelló and Católica of València.
