Back 2 The Motherland

When you experience a different culture, you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and those around you—deepening your knowledge of foreign cultures and strengthening international relationships.

Through our Back 2 The Motherland program, participants dive into the rich culture and traditions of West African cultures. The experience explores traditional festivals, marketplaces and cultural events that have not changed in centuries. Ghana’s beautiful golden beaches, tropical forests, rolling hills, the ancient connection with arts and crafts such as Kente, Adinkra, pottery and brass works and not forgetting a rich musical history, are sure to be life-changing.

Togo has great beaches, waterfalls, scenic spots and busy markets that are a must-see.

Benin is the birthplace of the voodoo arts and home to museums, wonderful architecture and markets that are truly memorable.

Join us as we explore West Africa and its connections to the Diaspora.
