This is an opportunity to take some break from your campus and come to Africa in other to enrich students' knowledge and engaging them in a life changing experience. Our section is dedicated to providing the necessary support for students to experience learning through travel; Helping the local community in educational projects, doing volunteer work, attending conferences; participating in competitions and tournaments; meeting new people with different cultures and languages and connecting the students to Ghana, Africa, giving them the chance to be ambassadors of the world.
The second half of the exchange will be to traveling to various part of the country, visiting different cities, a safari park and a monkey sanctuary. Listening to soothing music of the traditional bamboo flute, helped raise our spirits. As part of the activities organized during the cultural exchange is field visits, sampling the African great cuisine from Ghana, talent shows, music etc. The value of the cultural exchange is to create understanding of other cultures and embrace them for the unity of the global village and create linkages between the youth.
Some of the focus areas will be on cultural immersion, language study and community service. They will teach and perform; study Ghanaian languages; learn about traditional Ghanaian music, instruments, and dance; and be immersed in African culture.
Any support the group wants to provide a community is also welcome and will be so much appreciated by the community.
