Rute

1. Naming Ceremony experience performed by the Queen Mother. Naming ceremony is a special and symbolic experience that allows participants to connect with local traditions and culture. Known as "Outdooring" in some ethnic groups, particularly among the Akan, this ceremony celebrates the naming of an individual, marking their introduction to the community and the ancestors. It’s an opportunity to receive a traditional Ghanaian name, often based on the day of the week they were born (following the Akan tradition). The ceremony typically involves prayers, the pouring of libation to honor the ancestors, and blessings from elders. It may also include drumming, dancing, and a communal meal. Participating in this rite as a foreigner not only provides a deep cultural immersion but also signifies respect for Ghanaian traditions, fostering a meaningful connection between the visitor and the local community. The new name symbolizes their place within the Ghanaian culture and heritage.

About Accra

Accra, Ghana's capital on the Gulf of Guinea, mixes colonial forts, independence monuments, busy markets, beach bars and a famed music scene.

Accra lines the Atlantic coast, and its older districts keep the character of a trading port. In Jamestown, an old fishing quarter, a lighthouse stands beside Dutch and British forts, and boxing gyms spill onto the lanes. Black Star Square, with its Independence Arch, and the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park honour Ghana's first president and independence in 1957, while the W. E. B. Du Bois Centre remembers the writer who spent his final years here.
