Descrição

Venture beyond Accra's tourist trail on this thought-provoking tour that reveals one of the most critical environmental and social challenges of our time. The Agbogbloshie E-Waste Experience
Venture beyond Accra's tourist trail on this thought-provoking tour that reveals one of the most critical environmental and social challenges of our time. The Agbogbloshie E-Waste Experience offers an unfiltered look at where the world's discarded electronics end up and the community that has formed around this global phenomenon.
This is not your typical tourist experience, it's an educational journey that will fundamentally change how you view technology, consumption, and waste.

Begin with a comprehensive briefing about the global e-waste trade, Ghana's role in the recycling ecosystem, and the history of Agbogbloshie's transformation from wetland to the world's largest informal e-waste processing site.

Accompanied by knowledgeable local guides and community members, explore the sprawling site where thousands of workers dismantle and process electronic waste daily. Witness firsthand the ingenious recycling methods used to extract valuable materials from discarded devices.

Meet the workers who make their livelihoods here. Hear their personal stories, understand their challenges, and learn about their resilience. These authentic conversations provide human context to a complex global issue.

Visit affected areas along the Odaw River and observe the environmental consequences of improper e-waste disposal. Your guide will explain ongoing remediation efforts and sustainable alternatives being explored.

Conclude with a conversation about international initiatives, local innovation, and practical steps individuals can take to reduce e-waste globally and if you have visited Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park already, compare the contrast of his dream of industrialization for Ghana and the reality several years after his passing.
