Planting People Growing Justice Leadership Institute

Featuring Special Guest Lecturer, Mandela Washington Fellow Felix Appiah. Trip Dates: Thursday, July 2 - Saturday, July 11, 2026
Saint Paul, MN - Planting People Growing Justice Leadership Institute (PPGJLI) is pleased to announce its Annual Sankofa Leadership Trip to Ghana, taking place July 2-11, 2026. This transformative immersion experience is designed to cultivate global citizenship, deepen cross-cultural understanding, and strengthen participants' leadership capacity through historical reflection, cultural engagement, and community connection.

The Sankofa trip is grounded in the belief that effective and sustainable leadership requires moments of respite, reflection, and regeneration. By exploring Ghana's rich heritage and complex history, participants gain invaluable insights into resilience, justice, and the power of collective memory. This journey encourages leaders to look back in order to move forward which embodies the true meaning of Sankofa.

Travelers will visit key cultural and historical destinations including Accra, Senchi Ferry, Cape Coast, and monumental sites such as the Cape Coast slave castles, where participants engage in meaningful dialogue about historical trauma, healing, and the ongoing pursuit of justice. Each day of the experience fosters a deeper appreciation for African history while encouraging participants to consider their role as global citizens committed to equity and positive change.

This year, PPGJLI is honored to welcome Mandela Washington Fellow alumnus, Felix Appiah, as a special guest lecturer. Mr. Appiah will share his expertise in youth empowerment, civic engagement, and community leadership. This will provide participants firsthand insight into leadership development on the African continent. His contribution promises to enrich the program's focus on cultivating leaders who understand the interconnectedness of communities worldwide.

"We designed this trip to help leaders reconnect with purpose," said Dr. Artika Tyner, PPGJLI Executive Director. "By walking through history, learning from Ghanaian changemakers, and engaging in facilitated reflection, participants gain the clarity and inspiration needed to lead with hope, courage, and compassion."
