Integrating real world experience

intothe classroom experience

Leveraging travel experience for Global Education:

We use our unique course design to helpcapture students real-world experiences whileabroad, and to integrate those experiences into ourlessons.

Students are encouraged to blog and uploadphotographs of what they see, allowing professorsto comment, creating valuable educationalcommentary based on real-world experiences.

Why We Travel:

We believe that students' mindsare more open, more alert whenthey are traveling, and that whatthey learn during this interactiveandsensoryexperience becomes a

part of them and will not beforgotten. For this reason, all ofour courses will incorporate deepinteraction with the real worldback into the classroom setting.

During 2- 3 weeks of the program, students will completethe core part of the academics of each course. Their time will bespent in class on campus of our academic partner, or inprofessional visits to companies and organizations.

For example: In Brazil, we complete this core academicpart of our program between Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro,giving students a good insight into the business environment ofBrazil, with an overview of economic, political and cultural

issues.

ACADEMIC TRAVEL - part of our program:

During 1-2 weeks of our program, students will be invitedto travel with professors and course facilitators to exploredifferent areas of the country or region. Their time will be spentwith cultural and professional visits, and students will havedaily debrief sessions conducted by professors. During thesedaily debriefs, all students will discuss their experiences,opinions, prejudices, and more. Professors will have an

opportunity to guide students perceptions and influence theiropinions.

Professors will continue teaching, and the students willcontinue studying, but we will substitute the physical for thereal-world classroom. In Europe, we will use this time toenhance our Understanding the EU module, and to givestudents a greater insight into the challenges facing the EU insome of its periphery countries most affected by the crisis(such as Ireland, Spain and Portugal). The purpose of this travelis to give the student a diverse perspective on the currentsituation in the region.
