Koforidua Technical University (KTU) showcased Ghanaian craftsmanship at the Spanish High Commission’s cultural day celebration, ‘Spanish Feria’, held in Accra on Thursday, May 21, 2026.

Diplomats, members of the Spanish community in Ghana and other high-profile guests attended the event celebrating Ghanaian-Spanish cultural exchange.

Through His Excellency Ángel Lossada Torres-Quevedo, Ambassador of Spain to Ghana, and his Seamstresses 2.0 project, KTU’s Fashion/Textiles and Graphic Design students created artworks and sewed Spanish-inspired outfits and accessories using locally sourced Ghanaian fabrics.

The Head of Fashion/Textiles and Graphic Design Department, Dr (Mrs.) Dymphna Bakker-Edoh, Dean of Faculty of Applied Science and Technology, Prof. Joseph Osei supervised the project with technical assistance from the Directorate of International Programmes and Institutional Linkages led by Prof. Frank Agyen Dwomoh, as well as teaching and non-teaching staff of the University, and representatives from the Spanish Embassy.

Patrons at the event commended the creativity, originality, and professional touch in the works the students presented.

The joint initiative gave students hands-on international experience, boosted their confidence, and strengthened KTU’s ties with the diplomatic mission.

University officials noted that the partnership supports KTU’s vision of producing innovative, job-ready graduates and expanding global opportunities for students.

Koforidua Technical University participated in the colourful cultural ceremony based on its recent institutional collaboration with the Spanish High Commission in Accra, expected to advance skills development, foster cross-cultural exchange, create industry exposure for students, and strengthen Ghana-Spain cultural and academic ties.
