About us
Cross Cultural Collaborative, Inc. is a non-profit educational organization, founded in 2001, that promotes cultural exchange and understanding. Our programs emphasize multigenerational and multicultural collaborations encouraging participants to find rewards in different forms of creativity. We bring artists from different cultures together in a supportive environment where they can get to know each other through the language of art. At the core of our program is the belief that interaction between African and non-African artists enriches the creativity of both groups.
Our vision is to place people from different life experiences in an environment where they can exchange ideas and find universal connections.
Aba House is a guest house and cultural center where workshops and other activities sponsored by CCC,Inc. take place. The cultural centre in a suburb of Accra, Ghana is a research center and meeting place for exhibits, community based art workshops, performances, conferences, classes and other venues that relate to cultural awareness and appreciation.
We offer workshops in indigenous African crafts, culturally relevant tours, volunteer opportunities.
Workshops:
• Puppet making
