Lagim Tehi Tuma (“Thinking Together” in Dagbani), is a BiCo fellowship that combines intensive team-building, collaborative study, and education-focused projects to foster dialogue about culture, power, history, and learning.

Led by Education Professor Alice Lesnick and a Dalun- and BiCo-based team, and in collaboration with the University of Development Studies in Tamale, Fellows work with a local preschool, the community radio station, and an Internet training centre.

Program Structure

Fellows -- 3 from HC and 3 from BMC -- engage in one week of home-based study, writing, Dagbani learning, and online communication followed by one week of continued study, team building, and planning at ������̳. They then travel to Accra for an academic orientation at the University of Ghana-Legon, then to Dalun to join with 3 Fellows from the University for Development Studies for 6 weeks of continued study, internship/action research, Dagbani lessons, reflection (group and individual), and community and area experiences. The BiCo group will then return home for one week of debriefing, assessment and self-assessment, and academic planning. .
