NEW GENERATION AFRICA

 CONNECT WITH THE REAL AFRICA THE GLOBAL MEDIA WON’T TELL YOU ABOUT. Learn about Africa from journalists, authors, writers, producers, travel experts, and nonprofit staffers who have intimate knowledge about the culture, history, politics, social dynamics and everything else in between about the African continent. They want to make your visit, tour or repatriation to Africa hassle free, drama free, and stress free.

Africa continues to be promoted, publicized and marketed as the ideal continent for tourists seeking the thrills of adventure in an exotic environment. Pyramids and safari game hunting tend to be the major attractions. To many African Americans and others of African descent from Europe and other parts of the world, Africa is the continent they consider as their ancestral homeland. They travel to Africa to find their roots, reconnect with Africans and, lately for many,  to explore ways and means of repatriating to Africa and living there on a permanent basis.

 Regardless of what motivates anyone to plan, consider or actually travel or plan to Africa, it is absolutely necessary to be adequately prepared.  Most travel experts suggest that those traveling to Africa make every effort to get current and relevant information about political, social, economic and cultural trends in the African country to which they are travelling. Question becomes; how does one prepare for such an African journey, especially if it is part of an ongoing process that could lead to a decision to repatriate to the continent.? Most rely on the usual sources of information about the continent: the Internet, books, publications and multimedia that tend to focus more on promoting and publicizing Africa as a tourist paradise.

NEW GENERATION AFRICA HAS ANSWERS TO ALL YOUR QUESTIONS ON HOW TO PREPARE TO TRAVEL OR REPATRIATE TO AFRICA

Enter New Generation Africa, a US and Ghana based organization that specializes in helping people travelling to Africa to prepare for the journey. What kind of accommodation and lodging arrangements are available? What steps to take to make sure you get the best deals when renting, buying properties or building your own house in a country like Ghana? Do people visiting Africa face food problems? What areas are best for those visiting and those repatriating? How does one navigate African cultures, languages, customs and traditions? What factors have to be considered in choosing an African country to visit or repatriate to and why? These are some of the questions most face when it comes to making the decision to travel to Africa. And finding real answers is not easy either.

 New Generation Africa has all the answers. Their goal is to provide information, data and insight on current trends in Africa as they relate to its history, culture, geography,  financial institutions, recreational activities and everything else in between. Travel  websites, books and the global media don’t have access to or fail to provide in part because it is not in their best interest to do so when it comes to presenting Africa to the world. 

With varied backgrounds, expertise and experiences as media professionals, multimedia producers, writers and authors, who specialized in writing about Africa, they know what it takes to understand Africa and the kind of information needed to prepare to deal with the realities of life on the continent. As far as they are concerned, they can make it a lot easier for people traveling to Africa to relate to the people, familiarize themselves with the people and places, the cultural sensibilities of the people and to have a better understanding of what it takes to make the African journey a positive experience. 

MISREPRESENTATION OF AFRICA IN BOOKS AND GLOBALMEDIA

As a group, New Generation has published books, produced documentaries, and multimedia on various subjects relating to Africa and place particular emphasis on the fact that their goal is to tell the story of Africa in ways that reflect the reality of life on the continent. The latest book published by New Generation is titled HOMECOMING and focuses on the subject of repatriation and the return to Africa by people of African descent from.the United States, the Caribbean and other parts of the globe..

While it is true that Africa is the continent of unrivalled natural wonders, dramatic coastlines, amazing wildlife, luscious forests, unforgettable architecture, it is also true that it is a vast and highly diverse continent, full of pyramids and other ancient monuments, fascinating cultures, beautiful scenery, extraordinary animals and the best safari and wild game hunting in the world. For those interested in what may be considered as tourist attractions on the African continent, the above attributes make Africa the ideal place to visit. People of African descent from the United States and Europe look for a completely different experience. They seek to understand and relate to Africa and Africans on the basis of what is trending on the African continent in modern technology, communications, transportation, entertainment and recreation, the cultures and traditions of the people, and how the different tribal and ethnic groups relate and interact with each other and with people from other continents. 

NEW GENERATION AFRICA WILL PROVIDE RELEVANT AND USEFUL INFORMATION AND DATA ABOUT LIFE IN CONTEMPORARY AFRICA, THE COMMON STEREOTYPES, MISCONCEPTIONS AND MYTHS ABOUT AFRICA AND AFRICANS AND A WHOLE LOT MORE

New Generation  Africa focuses on the history, cultures and contemporary lifestyles and other important aspects of life in contemporary Africa. The kind of information and data we put together is not just about a  trip to the continent of pyramids, safaris and wild game hunting. The goal is to create an awareness and a real understanding of the people and a good grasp of current political, economic, financial and social developments and trends on the continent. Nothing indicates the depth and scope of ignorance and misinformation about Africa more than the spate of misconceptions and stereotypes that have been created and hyped by a hostile global media, giving the African continent and its people certain characteristics that have no basis in fact. As a result, the African continent is perceived as a less than ideal place to travel  or repatriate to even for people of African descent from America and elsewhere around the globe. 

New Generation Africa is dedicated to changing that, and has the team in place to do just that. Contact us: newgenerationinaction@yahoo.com
