The One World Leadership Institute's summer program aims to equip international students with practical, translatable knowledge and capabilities that are required to enter and contribute constructively to the international development profession with a key focus on community development. To achieve this, students are:
(1) introduced to practical realities of community development work, including challenges associated with exposures to new settings, cultures, and issues;
(2) trained in hard skills necessary to design, plan, implement, and evaluate community development projects effectively and ethically;
(3) instructed by KU professors in rigorous methodologies of empirical research and analysis with theoretical and applied relevance; and
(4) exposed to strategies of entrepreneurship, technology and innovation as a contributor to socioeconomic development.
Students learn through an intensive, dynamic project-based and design-oriented experience.
