Every person on the voyage (including faculty) is required to take the Global Studies class.
The syllabus for Global Studies states:
Participants learn how to understand cultural and social phenomena with which they will interact during the semester. Global Studies equips participants with observational and analytical skills for encountering societies different from their own, and different from each other - a key factor in facilitating the integration of class work and field work for all courses.
To accommodate all the students and staff, one section of Global Studies will meet in the morning and one section will meet after lunch. This voyage will include this group project:
Working as a team of no more than seven students, each group will prepare a lesson plan for a high school class on some aspect of sustainability from a global perspective.
This is a real life exercise that will be incorporated into a real component of a high school class.
Students will choose their own group topic. Sample topics include:
Recycling Projects
Public Transportation
Programs to Eliminate Poverty
Women’s Role in the Community
Water Usage
This project will further engage the students while in port, and the presentations should be quite interesting to observe.
