There are 6 aspects to this theme as follows: I Sport anthropology and development education II Dance research ill Development education IV Class material of African (Nigerian) dances and society V Teaching plan VI Digital recording of African dances using motion capture.
The target pupils are those in higher grades at elementary school. -Dance and music in sub-Saharan Africa are chosen. Because senior children at elementary school are often said to be in a "period of explosive development of geographical cognition and affection". In the geography textbooks used in Japanese elementary school, less space is devoted to Africa than to any other region of the world. Most descriptions of Africa place an emphasis on poverty, famine and refugees, and this contributes to the spread of a negative image of the region, thereby preventing children from gaining a sound understanding of developing countries.
