Held under the auspices of the Nandom Traditional Council, the Kakube Festival celebrates the harvest season and promotes the cultural heritage of the people of Nandom. The festival features colourful traditional displays, drumming, and dancing and brings together stakeholders, including government officials, institutions, and community members.
During the festival, the SDD-UBIDS team interacted with students from various senior high schools, vocational schools, and senior high technical schools.
