Overview:
The Capstone Project & Reflections module serves as the final phase of the Kemet/Afrikan Royal Calendar course, where learners synthesize their knowledge from all four modules. Participants will apply what they have learned about Kemet/Afrikan timekeeping systems to create a comprehensive project. This could be a research paper, artistic work, digital presentation, or any creative expression that reflects their understanding of the Kemet/Afrikan Royal Calendar. In the final week, participants will present their projects, engage in reflective discussions, and explore how the course has impacted their spiritual and intellectual growth.
