The Dagbe Cultural Institute & Arts Centre is located in the scenic coastal village of Kopeyia in Ghana's Volta Region. The mission of Dagbe is to sustainably preserve traditional West African and Ewe culture by bringing the enduring economic benefits of a successful cultural tourism business to the local community.
It's no secret that Dagbe's backbone is its incredible, hard-working staff, all of whom are lifelong residents of Kopeyia. In addition to fulfilling their official roles as class instructors, groundskeepers and kitchen crew, the staff act as cultural guides for students, making for an immersion experience that is at once exciting and familiar.
