Social work study abroad provides opportunities for students to apply traditional and indigene theoretical knowledge and execute direct action campaigns in a global context. This workshop discusses the confluence of indigene culture, tradition, and religion to reduce period poverty in eastern Ghana, at the invitation of a Ghanaian chief.

Learning Objectives:

  1. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to describe ways study abroad programs facilitate transfer of learning about indigene culture, tradition, and religion, from the classroom to a global context.
  2. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to value the confluence of culture, tradition, and religion to address and treat indigene social problems, like period poverty in Ghana, that influences US-based problem solving.
  3. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to articulate methods social work students can use their experience in direct action campaigns to transfer their learning and leadership about indigene culture, tradition, and religion in Ghana to the US workforce.
