Designed to deepen understanding of health disparities and educational inequities, the course integrates academic learning with community-based experiences that emphasize the social determinants of health and the role of education in health promotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Design Thinking in Japan (Summer Course and Travel)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students experience firsthand the culture and business practices of Japan, see how various organizations operating in the traditional and modern arts spaces do business in a fast-paced and changing environment, and work on developing their own sense of aesthetics. Students have the opportunity to exchange ideas with arts and business professionals in Tokyo and other parts of Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Place-Based Learning in India (Winter Course and Summer Travel)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A unique opportunity to explore the intersections of education, culture, and social justice in India is available to undergraduate education and social work students. This two-part experience begins in an ashram in rural Karnataka, where students assist in teaching English as a second language and basic computer skills. The second half of the program takes place in Bangalore, where students learn about community-based initiatives addressing poverty, child welfare, and educational access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Holocaust and Genocide: The Rwandan Experience (Winter Course and Summer Travel)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this course, students theorize and understand genocide and mass violence at an intellectual level before traveling to Rwanda to learn first-hand the lived experience of genocide. Students will see how Rwanda has healed and rebuilt itself after the Genocide against the Tutsi in the 1990s and explore a modern, urbanized, developed, forward-looking African country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a90dccff wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\" data-leading-icon=\"external\"><a data-leading-icon=\"external\" class=\"wp-block-button__link has-brand-maize-background-color has-background wp-element-button fb-button-has-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/go.umflint.edu\/Faculty-Led-Education-Abroad-Programs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><svg class=\"fb-button-icon\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" fill=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M19.5 4.5h-7V6h4.4l-5.7 5.7 1.1 1.1L18 7.1v4.4h1.5v-7z\"><\/path><path d=\"M4.5 8.5v11h11V13H14v5H6V10h5V8.5z\"><\/path><\/svg>2027 Faculty-Led Education Abroad Student Interest Form<\/a><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Explore the World with Faculty-Led Study Abroad The Faculty-Led Study Abroad Program offers short-term study abroad programs that allow UM-Flint students to experience the world.
