AKWAABA!

Welcome! Africa is in great transition. One of them is the large urbanization and alienation of traditional life and culture - the same process as other countries going thru modernization has experienced. After years as part time African muting to the West African country Ghana - with mane camp in Norway Scandinavia - I have learned to love the culture, and the rich art work. "My Africa" is a celebration of the combination of beautiful african images and the Scandinavian make-it-yourself approach to life. I intend to share how traditions can be kept alive in modern life style, as well as present practical suggestions to others that try to combine multicultural family life. I can be contacted for consultancy work in both Ghana and Norway.

Ghanian-Norwegian cultural exchang

In meetings with others you learn more about your self. In our school exchange program, sharing culture is central, as you can see in the imovie by pressing here, or by clicking on the picture.. Some of these kids performed their traditional dances for the first time when meeting pen-pals from across the world for the first time. The Norwegian kids and teachers are wearing traditional costumes from both Ghana and Norway when welcoming their long time pen-pals. The Norwegian school has their own Ghanaian dance group – as part of opening up the understanding of “others” at the school.
