International Travel Program

Programs

Djapo Cultural Arts Institute’s travel programs have been a critical component of our mission in promoting global cultural exchange, serving as a catalyst for cross-cultural understanding and fostering a profound appreciation for the rich tapestry of traditions that unite us all.

Through these immersive cultural arts experiences, participants not only witness the beauty of diverse cultural expressions but actively engage with local communities, creating meaningful connections that transcend geographical boundaries. Each travel program is meticulously designed to go beyond tourism, providing a platform for authentic interactions, collaborative learning, and the exchange of artistic traditions.”

"My experience on the trip to Gambia and Senegal was an amazing experience. Having the opportunity to learn about the traditions from each place and the music included really opened my eyes about what West African Culture is. Before the trip I knew little of the culture. I got to see the culture, the traditions and the music, the energy between the drummer and the dancers and all of this helped me get my degree as a minor in Africana studies. The trip was amazing and I am glad that I was able to go."
