There will be opportunities for excursions, cultural immersion and adventure experiences.
Learning Outcomes:
- Develop an understanding and a value of the importance of service and differing cultures
- Acquire insight into the life of villagers in Tanzania and Fiji through cultural immersion experiences and activities
- Learn about the best practices of global service and travel
