10 Enlightening Days in Ghana: February 9th to 19th

In addition to participating in Teach on the Beach programs, you will tour two historically significant slave castles. You will visit Elmina, the first European structure built in Africa, and Cape Coast castles. Teach on the Beach sponsored students will accompany you on your visits  to these these locations, both prominent in the Atlantic Slave Trade and the last places many slaves saw before being taken to the New World. Learn the history of slave trade and what it means to thoughtful, expressive Ghanaian students - they will open your eyes.
