Ghana

Explore the influences of socio-economic, political, ethnic, and religious factors on classroom practices at a boarding school in Ghana. Participants will fly into Accra, then travel to Akosombo/Akuse for two weeks, serving as teaching assistants in classrooms.
During the weekends, students may explore these small towns with the Ghanaian teachers and pupils. We will take a long weekend in Cape Coast to visit the rainforest at Kakum National Park.

Then explore Accra's cultural sites, such as the National Museum of History and Ethnography, the W.E.B. DuBois Center for Pan Africanism, and Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park and the Osu Cultural Center. These cultural explorations in Accra will provide some
historical and cultural orientation, allowing students a little time to process the experience of being in Ghana.
Visit the Cape Coast Castle and the West African Historical Museum, the slave quarters and Negotiation Hall where Ghanaians were bargained for and sold. Students will have an opportunity to visit the beach or do further exploration of the Cape Coast/Elmina
area.
