Experiment in International Living
|
Motivated high school students engage in challenging cross-cultural experiences for 3 - 5 weeks living as members of host families. Each program provides immersion in the daily culture of a single place and people. Many Experimenters become engaged in the life of another country through community service or travel, some study the language of their new country, while others explore international ecological problems.

AFS Intercultural Programs
|
Year and Semester:
Spend an exciting year or semester as a member of a Ghanaian family and learn about daily life, tribal culture, and African history. You will be placed in the next-to-last year of high school where you will study English, mathematics, environmental studies, physical education, science, and arts. You can also learn about traditional dancing and drumming, as well as exquisite handcrafts, woodcarving, gold and silver work, and textiles-most notably the richly-colored, hand-woven kente cloth of the Akan and Ewe peoples. AFS Ghana organizes a tour to other parts of the country, and part of your program includes an ongoing community service project as an after-school activity. There will still be plenty of time to enjoy with your new friends, listen to music, and spend time outdoors swimming and playing soccer.

2-Week High School Specials, Sports in Ghana
|
Spend a fortnight or three weeks in friendly, wild West Africa. Use your sporting talents to teach new skills and train children at a sports placement in Accra. You'll assist the coaches in their sports and general fitness classes, and you can hold a few classes yourself if you feel up to it. All sports skills are welcome, although football is the most popular.
