CIEE – Khon Kaen, Thailand

The goals of this program are to help students understand the complexities concerning environmental, development, and globalization issues, and the role they can play as global citizens. By listening and learning, students get to know the human dimension of policies pursued by corporations and financial institutions. Students are also challenged to find ways of working as a group with other CIEE and Thai students. Students are given a broad range of tools such as research and interview methods, setting research objectives and plans, and creating a publication.

Highlights:

• Learn about a broad range of issues–effects of dams and mining, urban slums, people living with HIV/AIDS, organic farming, human rights, social movements, and NGOs–from a grassroots perspective in a developing country.
• Have opportunities for cultural integration through the community stays and translated exchanges throughout the Northeast–as well as Thai student roommates and peer tutors.
• Learn to better understand your role in the world.
