The HerMaP Gambia training workshop just wrapped up after teaching people important skills for tourism and culture. The Heritage Management Organization ran these trainings with money from the European Union. They helped many different groups learn about keeping historical places safe and bringing visitors to The Gambia.
The training was part of a five-year plan running from 2020 to 2025. People came from all around the country to take part, including local culture leaders, tourism workers, history buffs, and festival planners. Everyone met both online and face-to-face to trade ideas and make new connections.
Classes covered topics like planning community tourism, managing historical places, building teams, and running festivals...
