Ghana to the World is a four week program offered by the University of Ghana. During this program, you will be immersed in discussions on Africa-centered topics, and experience the vibrant and diverse regions in Ghana. You will learn from local experts about the modern technologies, cultural foundations and evolution, and community systems shaping current initiatives for social impact and transformation in Ghana.
First off, let me establish who I am and my expectations being a Diverse Duck abroad. I’ve actually been to Japan many times now—this would be my third or fourth trip—and the last time I went was for an 8 month study abroad program in Osaka (hence why I want to return there, I fell in love with the city.)
This 5-week intensive summer program immerses students in audio journalism and storytelling while exploring the landscapes and cultural heritage of Scotland. This program is primarily that of immersive journalism, with the goal of connecting with locals to learn more about what the Highland experience truly is. Through two courses in comparative journalism and audio storytelling, students blend classroom learning with hands-on field experiences.
This month, I had the privilege of representing the University of Oregon as a GEO Ambassador, visiting three spectacular Spanish cities where Ducks are diving deep into global learning.
My time spent abroad was wonderful. I'm extremely thankful that I was able to partake in this experience and spend my summer in Europe! I had never been in Europe, trying to adjust to two different countries in two months, but I'm really glad I took a leap of faith and pushed myself beyond my comfort zone.
