Building off of the HAB collaborative method used to develop the "Indigo as Pedagogy" elective course for TNUA, students and faculty experienced firsthand in this five-day workshop how indigo is used in Ghana, while local communities and practitioners (who act as indigenous knowledge experts) discussed and felt the global context of their local practice.

As part of the field school, participants took part in a combination of field trips and local dialogue forums around Ghana:

1. Two day field trip to Northern Ghana (Daboya), the indigo craft community to engage with practitioners, observe indigo harvesting and dyeing and hold local discussions on the pedagogical value of Indigo. 
2. Two-day field trip to the Museum of Natural & Cultural Heritage at Shai Hills which serves as an interface for dialogue between academics and practitioners to hold discussions about indigo as a community heritage and the impacts of globalisation on the local craft industry.
3. One-day Round table discussions to be held at the IAS, University of Ghana for recollection/reflection.
