The projects involve taking 10-15 students to a chosen country for one month to volunteer with human rights NGOs, meet with local leaders and innovators, and produce academic research and online content in areas of the students’ choosing. In light of current debates on the issues surrounding "voluntourism" and "white savior complex," students also attend six preparatory lectures before departure, including but not limited to, the history, culture, and politics of the location along with an introduction to postcolonial theory. Additionally, students go through cultural sensitivity training; introductory language classes, how to operate in potentially dangerous environments; how to build contacts and produce field research; as well as guidance on understanding project logistics and potential pitfalls.This project gives students a unique chance to step out of the classroom and challenge themselves in ways very different from that of a traditional learning environment.PREVIOUS PROJECTS:KHAYELITSHA TOWNSHIP, CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA (June-July, 2019)Cooperated with the Sakhisizwe Development Project NPOHIRIMBURA, GALLE, SRI LANKA (January, 2017)Volunteered with the Volunteer Sri Lanka NGOPENESTANAN, BALI, INDONESIA (January, 2016)Volunteered with the Green Lion NGOCITY OF GOD FAVELA, RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL (January, 2014)Volunteered with the Seed of Life Foundation NGO Zobrazit méně
