Detailed programme

A different way of discovering Togo and its people!


Togo is a small country in West Africa. Its charm comes from the great diversity in its landscape despite a relatively small surface area, and the great care given by the Togolese people in preserving their environment and in assuring that guests are well received. Everywhere from the North to the South you will hear: «Soyez les bienvenus» («You are welcome here».)

This workshop with local artisans is real introduction to the country.
The workshops are organized by a local NGO, FAGAD « Frères Agriculteurs et Artisans pour le Développement » (Brother Farmers and Artisans for Development), which was created in 1990 and is specialized in the organization of volunteer projects. The courses are led by artisan teachers who live in the high plateau region of South West Togo. On average, the courses last 5 days, 3 hours a day.

In pottery, you will be able to make vases, bowls, ashtrays, etc.

Dates

All year round.


The workshop last 5 days – accommodation for 7 nights.

" Expérience très enrichissante au sein de Fagad malgré le manque de moyens. J'étais venu pour découvrir l'Afrique de l ouest, avec Kossi nous avons été directement plongé dans l'ambiance locale! "
" Mon séjour au Togo a été, avant tout, un contact qui s'est établi avec "Aliore" et particulièrement avec Soizick qui a contribué à l'aboutissement de mon projet en m'apportant des réponses rapides et claires. Aussi, je rajoute que l'idée de partager mon quotidien avec une ONG et de travailler avec une potière locale ont été très motivants. Il en résulte, aujourd'hui, des souvenirs impérissables et des images d'une aventure extraordinaire. Pour ces raisons ci, je ne peux qu'encourager l'association "Aliore" et, bien sûr, je ne manquerai pas de partager autour de moi. "
