OBJECTIVES

  • To visit a school or local organization and develop opportunities and activities for mutual learning and cultural exchange.

  • To create unique and impactful connections between locals and Fellows from the U.S.

HOW IT’S DONE

We endeavor to create an visit experience that is flexible and consistent with the host school/organization’s needs and desires.

In school settings, our Fellows are paired up and often serve as teacher’s assistants during their classroom visits on a variety of subjects, including but not limited to, mathematics, spelling, reading comprehension, english/grammar, science, the arts, and other areas.

Typically, we engage with elementary or primary school-aged students (5 to 12 years old) and anticipate spending up to three (3) hours per visit where pairs of our fellows will lead interactive sessions 60 mins - 90 mins each on intercultural exchange using UNESCO and OECD global education competency standards.

Topics/Activities may include:

  • Arts - Intercultural communication through the arts, using visual arts, crafts, music, or dance as the facilitating medium.

  • Sports - Intercultural exchange through sports and physical fitness.

  • Leadership - Human factor leadership sessions which highlight the six key attributes: ambition, determination, zeal, consideration, courage, and purpose.

  • Technology - Intercultural exchange through technology and innovation.
