A GROUP of 15 young people from the Bristol Museum Services and Bread Youth Project from the United Kingdom are in the country to explore how slavery came about and to gather information to trace their own roots. Their 14-day stay in the country will involve touring the major slavery routs and the forts that housed slaves during the era of slave trade. Dubbed the "Adisa Project", it will also involve interviews that the team will conduct with Ghanaian historians and youth groups which will be filmed and photographed for a slavery exhibition to be held in Bristol in April. The project is a collaboration between Ex-Aid, a youth development club in Ghana and the Bristol Museum Services and Bread Youth. The President of Ex-Aid, Gerritsen Amoah Nimako said the project was part of an inter-cultural exchange that would enable the youth from the two countries to know more about each country and their peculiarities. He said the team would tour the entire country to learn about slavery and also attend some lectures on the topic. The leader of the team, Alan Cabey explained that they decided to select Ghana for the project because Ghanaians had a very rich knowledge about the slave trade involving Africans to Europe. He said the project was code-named the "Adisa" because they were informed that Adisa is a Ghanaian name which means one who teaches. "We took on this name because we are committed to teaching our colleagues who were unable to come down with us so they will also get to know their roots better", he said. He said Ghana had a very rich and great tourism industry and so coming into the country was not a coincidence. Times
