2016 Advancing Literacy in Challenging Contexts: Ghana

Many post-secondary students seek to position their learning in ways that can make a difference. One way is to participate in projects that connect that learning to real world challenges. This Go Global Seminar offers an opportunity for students to participate in a Global Service-learning to create relevant material to support literacy in rural Ghana. UBC student participants are invited to collaborate with schools in the Nabdam District, the local NGO - GROW (Ghana Rural Opportunities for Women) and the Nabdam Language committee to create materials that can increase literacy in both English and the Nabit language.
