The "'Back to your village' Food Bazaar" Experience

As part of celebrating Ghana's Heritage month which is the month of March, we at Shared Space took a trip to the Citi FM “Back to Your Village Food Bazaar”.

The program was held at the forecourt of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly and showcased indigenous Ghanaian dishes like Omo tuo, Banku, Tuo Zaafi, Kokonte, Ampesie, among others.

On 25th March 2023, we had the opportunity of tasting some delicious local foods and snacks from across Ghana including 'apaparansa', waakye, plantain, coconut crunch, peanut crunch.

This trip was taken by some children and adults from the Shared Space and the children learnt a lot about a wide range of Ghanaian meals and their preparation, while enjoying live performances of Ghanaian music. Below are written experiences by the children.
