The ‘Beyond the Return’ Secretariat has released the official events schedule for November and December 2020.

The events were chosen after a careful review to include; cultural events, festivals, performances, entertainment, business, and educational activities that amplify the pillars of ‘Beyond the Return’.

In a release signed by Madam Annabelle McKenzie, Manager of the ‘Beyond The Return’ Secretariat and issued to the Ghana News Agency, in Accra, it said "DecemberInGH will be an exciting time filled with events and festivals that will create memorable experiences for Ghanaians and diasporans to See Ghana, Eat Ghana, Wear Ghana, and Feel Ghana."
