The Basel Mission and its Legacies: Second part of a Ghanaian-Swiss teaching project

The Basel Mission and its Legacies

“What’s God got to do with it?” At the end of the project's journey in the footsteps of the Basel Mission, the answer to this question – the title of one of the preparatory seminars – was clear: Quite a lot, whatever you may or may not think of Him.

In the first week of July 2024, students and instructors from the University of Basel, the Akrofi-Christaller Institute (ACI), and the University of Ghana (UG) participated in an excursion in Basel and southern Germany. This journey, which followed a first that took place in Ghana in early 2024, allowed participants to experience and assess how the historical legacies of the BM are presently perceived, preserved, and presented in Europe.
