Over the past weeks or months, students from diverse institutions in Ghana had the privilege to partake in a transformative internship experience at the esteemed Centre for National Culture. As this day unfolds, we celebrate the conclusion of their dedicated service during their internship period. This valuable opportunity must have enabled them to acquire practical skills, build professional networks, and foster personal growth. Let us extend our heartfelt congratulations to all the students for successfully concluding their enriching internship journey at the Centre for National Culture. May this experience be a stepping stone towards a bright and promising future ahead.

In the heart of Africa, a tapestry unfolds,Where culture's beauty and stories are told.A kaleidoscope of hues, vibrant and true,African heritage, rich in every hue.Culture is beautiful, like a soaring bird,It weaves together tales that need to be heard.From ancient tribes with customs and rites,To modern expressions, igniting new lights.The rhythm of drums, pulsating with pride,Guiding the dance, where spirits reside.From the Maasai warriors in their regal attire,To the Zulu warriors, fierce and admired.Colorful fabrics, draped with grace,Adorning bodies, an elegant embrace.Batik, kente, mudcloth, and more,Each pattern tells a tale, traditions to explore.From the Nile's banks to the Sahara's sand,African culture stretches across the land.Rooted in history, it blossoms anew,Nurturing identities, strong and true.Culture shapes who we are, like a sculptor's hand,Molding character, where we all stand.With wisdom passed down through generations,Resilience and strength, African foundations.So let us celebrate this heritage divine,Embrace the culture, let our spirits intertwine.For within its essence, we find our worth,The beauty of Africa, a treasure on Earth.
The Regional Festival of Arts and Culture (REFAC) is a biennial event that serves as a prelude to the National Festival of Arts and Culture (NAFAC).
The REFAC was formed to choose and prepare arts to represent the region at the national event. Some cultural groups and artists in the region are invited to participate in the event. Major arts in this year's REFAC include: The Amamereso Agofomma, Amamereso Choral group, Asanteman Ahyewa group, Morale dot com, and others.
