Short term study abroad is becoming essential to the academic journey that we encourage our students to undertake. Outsourcing, interdependence and world events are forcing Americans to have to proactively communicate with diverse groups of people, regardless of whether they intend to pursue a career beyond their local communities. As a result, teachers are eager to develop short term educational opportunities abroad. However, many educators are unsure of the essential resources and tasks involved in properly exploring this type of program development. This webinar will provide a foundational toolbox to carry with you as you start down the path of short term study abroad program development.

Objectives

Participants will gain knowledge of key areas that must be considered when exploring short term program development. Participants will have a general understanding of the legal, academic, logistical, cultural and safety challenges. Upon completion of this webinar, participants will be equipped with a foundational toolbox and be more confident when exploring short term study abroad program development.

The speaker's intention is to provide the participants with a complete "toolbox" of documents/web sites/possibly books/articles and any other relevant resources via an attachment that can go out just prior to the actual webinar. It will include the following:

Determining Location(s) & dates/budget and cost/length of stay/how many participants and leaders/application forms/marketing/vendors and related issues/insurance/developing the itinerary/pre-departure/ orientation/safety/emergencies/re-entry/evaluations/the "toolbox"

Administrators who oversee study abroad programs
2 and 4 year colleges
Community clubs/youth groups planning a trip abroad
High school teachers and administrators responsible for study abroad
Anyone who is interested in short study abroad program development, yet doesn't know where to start the journey
