World Institute of Africa Culture and Traditions (WIACT)
Welcome! WIACT hosts a diverse array of activities and projects that aim to recover, preserve, share, and revitalize the traditional cultures, languages, and indigenous knowledge of Ghana's Savannah Region, and across the African continent.
Our Vision
We are building a new story of Africa to share with the world, because African cultures offer solutions for our era
Our Educational Mission is to:
• research, document, retrieve & revitalize traditional knowledge, cultures, and languages of African peoples
• educate our children about their true stories and cultural heritage so that our knowledge and wisdom persist and inform our future
• share the concepts of our traditions and culture with the world
We Honor Our African Elders
Their wisdom empowers the next generation
We document Elders' knowledge about how to survive & thrive in community, helping them to hand traditions to future generations.
We Help Our Young People
Develop pride in their heritage.
so they can resist the lure of dangerous migration to Europe as they grow up, and instead become part of the great regional renaissance that is emerging across Africa.
We welcome your interest, your involvement, and your contributions. If you would like to visit Savannah Region of Ghana, participate in cultural experiences, undertake research on traditional knowledge, document indigenous plants and how indigenous people used them, help support a native seed bank, plant native tree species, and/or propose your own project, send us a message.
