Lancaster University Ghana (LUG) recently hosted an informative briefing session led by a team from the Rwandan High Commission to prepare students for their upcoming educational visit to Rwanda. The session offered an exciting preview of the immersive learning experience ahead and underscored Rwanda’s inspiring story of resilience, unity, and innovation.
During the session, the High Commission team provided students with an in-depth overview of what to expect, including Rwanda’s remarkable recovery post-1994 Genocide, its development of Home-Grown Solutions in governance and justice, and the country’s strides in technology, education, and economic transformation. Students were encouraged to approach the visit as both an academic exploration and a cultural learning opportunity.
The team emphasized key aspects of the visit, such as exploring Rwanda’s historical landmarks, engaging with leaders of influential institutions, and understanding the cultural values that have propelled the nation’s success. From visiting memorial sites to witnessing innovative governance practices, the trip promises to offer students unparalleled insights into a country often described as a model for growth and leadership in Africa.
Sussan Biney, Student Affairs Manager at Lancaster University Ghana, shared her excitement about the upcoming trip, stating, “This visit is a perfect example of how LUG brings classroom learning to life. Our students will have the opportunity to witness first-hand the power of leadership, unity, and innovative solutions in addressing societal challenges.”
Students expressed their enthusiasm for the visit, highlighting how it aligns with their academic aspirations and desire for exposure to global perspectives. “This is more than just a trip—it’s an opportunity to learn from Rwanda’s incredible story and bring back lessons that we can apply both personally and professionally,” remarked one excited participant.
The upcoming educational visit reaffirms LUG’s commitment to delivering transformative learning experiences that blend academics with real-world exposure. It’s not just about gaining knowledge—it’s about inspiring the next generation of leaders to think critically, innovate boldly, and engage globally.
