To develop a lively and distinct way in which we think about the past history of the nation. To develop a school's program at heritage sites that brings history to life in order to develop pupils' social education and provide the chance for them to participate in the dramas of the past. To create a new and artistic type of employment that will preserve the culture of the many ethnic groups in Ghana.
