The fieldwork experience of the Saltpond-group🚰💧 🌳 Your research topic Our research topic is population and households in transition. We did research on the water shortage in Saltpond and how the households are affected. 🌳 How you have found your interviewees Our interpreter knew a lot of people we could talk to in the qualitative interviews. For the questionnaire/survey we say at mama pats store and handed out to the people walking by and walked around in the city. It was easy since we lived in the center of the town. 🌳 What is something you have learned throughout the weeks? We have learned a lot about how people manage water scarcity, and how people from different social groups gets affected by it. We also got to experience how it is to live without running water in the house. 🌳 What is something that you were suprised of with your study? How little help and information the population gets. They get no information about why there is a water shortage or when it will come back. They just have to wait and see. 🌳 A tip for next year’s students Be prepared for a lot of noice. There is a church on the other side of the road that rings and plays music at least 3 times a day. It takes time to get used to, can be helpful to bring earplugs. __________________________________________________

Reverse culture shock can be a real challenge after returning home from a long trip or living abroad❤️‍🩹 It’s the feeling of disorientation and unease you experience when you’re back in your familiar environment, but it no longer feels quite right. You might find yourself feeling out of sync with friends and family, struggling to readjust to your old routines, and missing aspects of the culture you left behind🇬🇭 It’s a normal part of the adjustment process, but it can be tough to navigate. Because we are home from the semester abroad in Ghana, several of us have experienced this! ❤️‍🩹 A tip to navigate these feelings is to talk about it as much as possible. Both to your family/friends at home, but also to your friends that you made in Ghana. They might be experiencing the same thing! 🇬🇭 ___________________________________________________
