Travel to Ghana and have an unforgettable experience. Live in and be part of another community, totally different from your own.
Eduteen Ghana’s Cultural Immersion Projects will get you baptized into the Ghanaian culture. Some of these cultures face threats from the modern world. With your personal experience, you can learn about them and help protect them for years to come. We’ve created a range of unique travel experiences where you can switch off from modern life. You’ll work alongside locals to pitch in with their day-to-day lives and the challenges they face. You could spend time in a community centre or school, take a trip to a historical site, or learn drumming & dancing, or even help farmers with their livestock or farm produce. It all depends where your personality and skills fit best.
Our previous participants on cultural exchange programs have gone on to a wide range of careers and experiences, having gained versatile social skills and resilience during their time with us.
