Intercultural Trips
ISK’s Intercultural Trips deliberately require students to challenge themselves, reinforcing our Educational Aims through interdisciplinary learning and character development, including personal responsibility, in an African context.
Program Overview
The experiences planned for each trip will deliberately focus on specific skills, knowledge, and dispositions from ISK’s Educational Aims and challenge students by drawing them out of their comfortable daily routines. The intention is that students, over a number of years, will explore and develop different aspects of themselves, through a range of real-world experiences away from campus for an extended period of time.
Such experiences will fall into three broad categories, each of which focuses on a combination of elements within our Educational Aims:
- Service and leadership
- Adventure and personal challenge
- Intercultural learning and host country appreciation
A specific trip may combine two or more categories but will have one of them as its primary focus.
