Northwestern University’s Global Engagement Studies Institute (GESI)

Are you passionate about global change, committed to learning by doing, and ready to engage in hands-on international development?

The summer 2013 Global Engagement Studies Institute at Northwestern University will equip you to:

• Work directly with local communities and community organizations in Uganda, India, Bolivia, Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and Haiti, or South Africa
• Earn two Northwestern course credits (the equivalent of 6 semester credits)
• Leverage the strengths, rather than list the weaknesses, of the communities in which you live and work abroad
• Live with a host family and immerse yourself in another culture for eight weeks
• Work in teams to design and implement an original development project in youth and education, environmental development, microfinance, gender and development, global health, social enterprise, human rights, and more
