Customized international travel seminars
We design customized travel seminars to Mexico, Central America, Southern Africa, Bolivia, and Vietnam for churches, non-profits, NGO’s, universities, and alumni groups. We can also coordinate faculty-led programs for colleges and universities using their curriculum and our local staff, geographic expertise, logistical management, and infrastructure.
Professional development
The Center for Global Education is committed to providing opportunities for teachers, faculty, administrators, and other professionals to gain first-hand experiences around issues of globalization in the countries where we work. Colleges and universities are also welcome to customize their own seminar for members of their campus community.
Short-term international seminars
International travel seminars are one- to three-week programs open to the public that provide an introduction to the peoples and situations of Mexico, Central America, Southern Africa, and other sites. These powerful learning experiences can broaden horizons, challenge perceptions, and expand the worldview of participants.
