1. Ghana in Maltese Culture and Society Throughout the years, both ghana (as a genre) and the role of the ghannejja in Maltese culture and society have frequently been presented by both Maltese and foreign scholars as representatives of old time Maltese peasant life, as the sweetness of The Folk ( il-hlewwa tal-poplu ) and 'of a way of life that was rapidly disappearing with post-war economic development' (Fsadni 1992: 32). In this framework, ghana becomes one of the elements that characterize the simple (if not also romantic) life of the working class. Aquilina (1931: 8), for instance, provides the following description: How lovely it is, to hear from a remote and abandoned village amidst our island's hills, during a moonlit evening, while the cricket is hidden among the tomato plants, breaking the evening's silence, a handsome and healthy young man, swarthy as our country makes him, singing his ghana ceaselessly. His soul would seemingly burst open with his singing! [My translation]

86. Modern Mass Media, Religion And The State In Ghana there has been a shift of the place and role of popular culture and Christian Thisshift was part and parcel of ghana’s return to a democratic constitution http://history.wisc.edu/bernault/magical\public.3.htm

Pentecostalite Culture on Screen Magic and Modernity in Ghana’s New Mediascape Birgit Meyer, Research Centre Religion and Society, University of Amsterdam, e-mail: meyer@pscw.uva.nl DRAFT, PLEASE DON’T QUOTE WITHOUT AUTHOR’S PERMISSION Introduction In the course of the last ten years, there has been a shift of the place and role of popular culture and Christian religion- especially its Pentecostal variant - in Ghanaian society from being confined to a more secluded, partially hidden and elusive domain towards increasing manifestation in the media. This shift was part and parcel of Ghana’s return to a democratic constitution in 1992, which entailed the liberalization of media and the opening up of public space to the concerns and views of ordinary people. The Ghanaian video film industry, which emerged in the course of the late 1980s, and really took off, with more than fifty productions a year, in the early 1990s played an important role in that transformation. This video film industry, which was instigated by imaginative, film-loving, enterprising individuals who initially often had little knowledge of the actual work of film making, remains very close to the ideas and experiences of the inhabitants of big cities like Accra, who were thrilled to see their own surroundings on screen. Taking as a point of departure the latest rumours about the illicit acquisition of wealth, confessions about the work of Satan and his demons, and - inevitably – testimonies about the miracles brought about by the Holy Spirit and Pentecostal pastors, these films are inspired by and woven into the texture of everyday life. They project

home search help worldguide ... Related Weblinks Ghana If an award were given for the country with the friendliest people in West Africa, Ghana would be a strong contender. Spend a few hours in the breezy capital at Accra, and you'll swear the wind and waves off the Gulf of Guinea have infused the land and people alike with equatorial warmth. Even Ghanaians might admit that Accra's not the most beautiful place, but it's theirs. For a country that's borne the brutality of colonisation - from the stripping of its mineral wealth to the enslaving of its people - Ghana retains a remarkable sense of self. Its craftspeople have a long, rich cultural history to draw from, and their work is thick with that tradition - be it the colourful kente cloth of the Ashanti or any of the stools, icons, beads or baskets you'll find in the major markets. Even the leftover forts and castles, recalling five centuries of European influence, today seem less like Ghana's ghosts than players in her narrative. Warning A curfew in place in the northern towns of Yendi and Tamale following inter-ethnic clashes in Yendi back in March of 2002 has been lifted. Although the situation is currently calm, travellers to Ghana's north should check the latest developments first and remain sensitive to potential flare-ups.

Once part of the powerful Ashanti empire, Ghana figured prominently in one of the most tragic chapters of Western history - the African slave trade. Here at coastal forts, imprisoned Africans were forced onto slave ships bound for the "New World." This ruinous legacy challenges local people with great needs. But by working to improve educational and medical resources, you build a "bridge of understanding" and help create new opportunities for Ghanaian children and their families. "Beatrice, a student, asked: 'Why must you leave Ghana?' I gave her a practical answer: Our visas allow only a short stay. But, now I would say, 'It's because of the mission we share. We come from our countries bringing love to Ghana. After a short time with you, we experience your love for us. Now we must carry your special love back to our countries so others can know it also.

Ghana like most other African nations has rich traditional cultures that differ from one ethnic group or tribe to the other. This cultural diversity is evidenced by the plethora of festivals , which are a good way to gain exposure to the dance, music, fashions and food of the indigenous people. Ghana has a festival every month of the year, and each one commemorates a Rite of Passage, a Change of Season, a Migration or a Festive Occasions. Some of the festivals celebrated annually include the DIPO PUBERTY RITES festival, which takes place in March/April, and the HOMOWO festival which is celebrated in August/September to celebrate the end of an historical famine. Ashanti Kingdom Kumasi, the capital of the erstwhile Ashanti Kingdom now known as the Ashanti region is a hotbed for individuals interested in the history and traditions of the Asante people. Within the city, one can visit the Kumasi Cultural Center and the Manhyia Palace and Museum. These two sites provide visitors with insights to the historical events, which made the Ashanti Kingdom a great one.Of special interest in the region are the royally designated art and craft villages, which produce arts, crafts and fabric for the Asantehene's Court. BONWIRE, is home to traditional artisans who still practice the age-old art of weaving KENTE Cloth. The name Kente is derived from the Akan word KENTEN, which means basket. This cloth is worn on festive and important occasions and is usually worn by traditional dancers who perform ADOWA. In close proximity to Bonwire is ATONSU, a village where ADINKRA Cloth is produced.

Orientation and Teacher Training (the first 10 days) The Teaching Placement (2 months) Your teaching responsibilities begin immediately as an English teacher in a Junior Secondary School.
