Umuigbo
USA gathers the youth together on a weekly basis
on Saturdays. During this time we implement a structured
program that is multi-faceted.
- There
is a language component where the youth follow a curriculum
to learn the Igbo
language.
- Another
section is the dance lessons where children learn traditional
and contemporary dances that
have enriching
meanings.
- Folktales
and proverbs are a important part of the culture and
we utilize parents to convey these cultural stories and
idioms to the youth.
- Songs
are taught to the youth to convey the melodic and lyrical
nature of Igbos. Songs indicate the beliefs, joy, religion,
and history of the Igbos
The
Saturday program is currently at this site:
