Arts and Culture Project

Program Description

As part of quest to promote African culture, we have introduced an internship opportunity for people who would like to come and learn traditional African dance and drumming.

Africa is well-known for its music and dancing. CVN offers the opportunity to come to Ghana and learn about these wonderful traditional art forms which have been performed for centuries. You will learn how communities use ‘talking drums’ to communicate both within the village and to other villages, a technique that is still in use today. You will also learn the traditional songs and dances that are performed at funerals, festivals and other ceremonies.

Dancing and drumming lessons take place on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

As well as the fee paid to CVN for your accommodation and meals, you will be required to make donation of 200 USD to the group to cover your lessons for one month.
