DESTINATION GHANA
Anansi Travels offers immersive study abroad experiences in Ghana through two pathways: Anansi Bridge, a structured summer program for recent high school graduates that combines academic learning with volunteer work and cultural immersion, and Anansi Fellow, a program for rising college sophomores, juniors, seniors, and recent graduates that includes coursework and professional internships tailored to students’ interests.
Through both pathways, participants gain an understanding of African and diasporic history, develop global awareness and leadership skills, and acquire meaningful real‑world experience while exploring Ghana’s vibrant culture and communities.
