|
This is a programme for students and organized groups wanting to study Ghanaian language and culture. It is a 6-week study programme for organized groups numbering between 10-15. The programme teaches a Ghanaian language “Twi” (a predominant language spoken by about 80% of the 20million population) and some Ghanaian local drumming and dances.
The programme is hosted in Kumasi and it offers the opportunity to explore the richness of Ghana’s arts and crafts- woodcarvings, drum making and weaving.
Under the programme, participants stay with a host family in a carefully selected rural area, 30km radius from Kumasi, the capital city of Ashanti Region- the hub of rich Ghanaian culture. In the village stay participants have the opportunity of engaging in the daily activities of the host family and the village at large. Participants also get the opportunity to visit and observe some of the tourist attractions in the country. Notably among these attractions include visits to the biggest natural lake in West Africa, exploring the biggest markets in West Africa, the ancient museums/palaces that introduces participants to the history and wealth of the ancient Asante Empire. The visits also takes participants to the Kakum National Park, a tropical rain forest to enjoy a walk on one of the four canopy walkways in the world, high above the National Park, a visit to the dramatic coastal slave castles of Cape Coast and Elmina, where the history of black slavery has been preserved.
