At the final event, program participants presented their research on the indigenous peoples of the Russian North. The attendees spoke about their way of life, traditional dwellings, national cuisine, clothing, and language, demonstrating how the harsh natural environment has shaped the unique culture of these peoples.

Particular interest was sparked by parallels with Ghana’s northern regions: students compared the lifestyles of the Wala, Dagomba, and Konkomba peoples with the traditions of Russia’s taiga and tundra inhabitants. They discussed economic practices, family values, and material culture — and found many commonalities despite the geographical distance.
