Brief description of project |
Topic: Interesting Lessons from Cherished Ghanaian Values
Preamble: Ghanaians are very good and hospitable people, I grew up in a community where the values of Ghanaian culture are much respected. Most of these values have not been able to survive through time due to technological advancement as many young people also see them as outmoded. Nevertheless, most of these cultural practices still carry a lot of logic, worth, lessons and scientific significance for us. We shall read and learn very interesting things about the some rich and cherished culture of the Ghanaian people. Objectives: By the end of the the project learners/ participants would be able to: 1. Identify at least four Cherished Ghanaian Values. 2. Explain at least three significance of any three Cherished Ghanaian Values. 3. Discover through Research any two Cherished Ghanaian Values. 4. Identify any three significance of the two Cherished Ghanaian Values Identified in their research. Language: English Verification: Feedback from participants, Discussions, Conversation and online workshop on topic under discussions. |
