Learn

The Learn pillar is about helping members to better understand Ghana's culture, history, politics and economics.

For example, in September 2010, we held the third in our annual series on Ghana's tribes and the major life stages. It started in October 2008 with a general introduction. In October 2009 the focus was Marriage and Engagement. The focus this year was Birth and Naming Systems. The meet-up covered:

• child outdooring and naming,
• how these practices have changed over time, and,
• why they are still relevant to us today, living in the Diaspora.
  

The speakers were Ade Sawyerr, Nana Awuku Djan I (Amanonehene) and Samuel Banini.

The final part of the series, in 2011, will cover Death. The inspiration for the series was a conversation with a member.
