Make room for discovery

A map is an invitation to explore. Seeing places alongside one another can prompt questions that a list of names does not: What connects these countries? How does geography shape the way people travel and exchange ideas?

Turn looking into learning

Choose a region and locate its countries. Write down a few questions, then use country guides and other reference sources to investigate them. Revisit the map as you learn, adding your own notes and connections.

Bring learning into shared spaces

A printable reference map can be a useful starting point for discussion at home or in a classroom. The A to Z of Africa resource brings country outlines, flags, and general information together in a visual format.
