We personally meet with our student travelers and their parents/guardians to equip them, in coordination with other sponsoring partners, for maximizing the benefits of their upcoming journey. This includes introducing them to information on: - The history and culture of the place they are about to visit; - Important customs and social practices that they need to be aware of during their stay; - Basic local language and communication terms that will be useful in their interactions; - Questions and concerns they may have as they anticipate the journey. Upon return, we assist in the important process of debriefing the journey: reflecting on their experiences; articulating what they saw and heard and learned about both the larger world and themselves; and sorting through how they will build upon the experience as they go forward in their education and their future vocational lives. Then, we will provide a public platform for the traveler to report on their journey and its experiential highlights, and to share what it meant, and will mean, for them.
