Founded in the philosophy of Ubuntu, cycling can support children’s confidence, wellbeing, mobility, belonging and participation when embedded within school and community life. Cycling can become pedagogy: a relational, embodied and practical form of learning through which teachers, children, families, coaches and local partners build shared futures.
Drawing on the formation and collective development of Ubuntu Cycling Foundation CIC, speakers will combine personal narratives with educational theory and comparative case-study analysis across The Gambia, Rwanda, Côte d’Ivoire and South Africa. Audience members will come away with an understanding of how cycling can link schooling, child wellbeing, mobility justice, racial equity and community-led educational development across African contexts.
The presentation contributes to debates in education, decolonisation, mobility justice, sport, childhood studies and African development by positioning African children and teachers not as passive beneficiaries of external intervention, but as knowledge producers in the making of new cycling futures.
