Ghana Schools Exchange Programme
What is GHASEP
GHASEP (Ghana Schools Exchange Programme) is an international organization that has been setup to provide intercultural learning opportunities to help children of Ghanaians living in the Diaspora to connect with Ghana and understand Ghanaian culture.
We achieve this by working with selected schools and arranging for children to spend a limited time during their vacation period in the school in Ghana.
We believe this arrangement benefits both the child and the host school in Ghana.
Typically, a visiting child will spend one to two weeks (boarding school) in the host school and be involved in all the school activities during their stay in addition to special activities that have been put together for the purpose of the programme.
It’s far richer and more rewarding than visiting Ghana as a family visitor or as a tourist, as students live with their peers and acquire knowledge not available to the usual family visitor.
