At the Alliance for Youth in Climate Change Action (AYCCA), we are committed to preserving and promoting Ghana’s rich cultural heritage. Our recent 19^th Century Wuriyanga Mosque Restoration project funded by ALIPH has not only highlighted the importance of safeguarding our cultural landmarks but also underscored the urgent need to adapt to the challenges posed by climate change.

As we worked to restore the Wuriyanga Mosque, we realized that, despite our best efforts, the harsh realities of climate change threaten to erase our cultural heritage. Rising temperatures, intense rainfall, and other extreme weather events put our historical sites at risk of damage or destruction. The Wuriyanga Mosque, a significant cultural and historical landmark, is no exception.

To address this challenge, we have developed an innovative solution: Culture Hub Ghana project. This groundbreaking project aims to digitize Ghana’s cultural heritage, preserving our histories, legacies, and cultures for future generations.

Digitizing Our Heritage

AYCCA’s Culture Hub Ghana project is an ambitious initiative that will create a comprehensive digital repository of Ghana’s cultural heritage. By leveraging cutting-edge technology, we will digitize historical sites, cultural artifacts, and traditional practices, ensuring their preservation for generations to come.

The Wuriyanga Mosque will be one of the first cultural landmarks to be digitized under this project. Using advanced 3D scanning and modeling techniques, we will create a precise digital replica of the mosque, capturing its intricate architecture and historical significance. This digital model will not only provide a permanent record of the mosque’s existence but also serve as a valuable resource for researchers, educators, and the general public.

Preserving Our Cultural Identity

The project is more than just a digitization project; it’s a mission to preserve our cultural identity. By safeguarding our cultural heritage, we are protecting the very essence of who we are as a people. Our cultural traditions, historical sites, and artistic expressions are the threads that weave our society together, providing a sense of continuity and shared identity.

Empowering Future Generations

AYCCA’s mission is also about empowering future generations to appreciate, respect, and build upon our cultural heritage which is reflected in the Culture Hub Ghana project. By providing access to a comprehensive digital repository of Ghana’s cultural heritage, we are giving young people the tools they need to learn about, engage with, and preserve our cultural traditions.
