Following on from the huge success of Band Aid 30 in raising money and awareness of the Ebola Virus outbreak in West Africa. Staff from Royds Hall Community School, Golcar Junior, Infant and Nursery School school, and members of the Aspire Cooperative Learning Trust in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire decided to record their own version of the song. As well as this, both students and staff felt that it was important to challenge the 'traditional image of Africa' as a war torn, impoverished continent that has no hope of holding its own in the 21st Century.
Whilst the staff at both schools were busy recording and rehearsing: the gauntlet was laid down to the students to challenge these perceptions of Africa, and to dig deeper into the heritage, culture, beliefs and attitude of the people of the 47 countries that make up Africa.
The students that you see on the video asked to share what they had learned about Africa at the end of a one-hour lesson created to challenge how they saw Africa. Staff from both schools contributed the vocal parts, instrumentals, and a lot of time for the recording.
