In addition to lectures, team-building and small group activities, students will attend country-specific sessions, learn about development topics from practitioners, and attend language classes to prepare them for time abroad. The pre-departure seminar also include a focus on discussing social identities, health and safety, and sharing resources and practical information for the field. GESI students will also work closely with a team of peer facilitators, who will provide academic and personal support, as well as assist in teaching activities.</p> <p>3-credit GESI field studies course:</p> <ul> <li>INTL ST 393-SA Development in a Global Context<br/> <div><span>This course combines intensive classroom with structured experiential learning, as well as peer-to-peer education to examine international development work. The course sets contemporary development practice in the context of fundamental debates over the nature and goals of non-profits and other such efforts, the causes of global poverty, and the history of development, with particular attention to the relationships between power, participation, and social change. Students will be introduced to the political, social, economic, cultural and geographic characteristics of their different locations, with consideration to how these factors influence community-based work. Overall, the course seeks to give students the intellectual, emotional and practical readiness, and framework to pursue and reflect critically on their field experience and in-country work.</span></div> </li> </ul> <h4>In-Country Immersion</h4> <p>While abroad, you will be working in teams with local organizations, advancing their efforts towards sustainable change. Topics vary by program location and include a focus on issues like human rights, sustainable agriculture, gender rights, health services, and youth/education. Your schedule will resemble a work schedule common in your location (roughly 30 hours/week). All students live in homestays and will complete weekly assignments (reflections, field essays and final papers) submitted to Northwestern program faculty. Host organization supervisors will also evaluate students on their project work and community engagement during the internship experience. </p> <h4>Final Reflection Summit</h4> <p>At the end of GESI, all students reconvene in the classroom at Northwestern for three days of re-entry coursework and programming as a cohort.  Everyone discusses lessons learned, challenges, and successes of their internship and in-country experience. We believe that reflective practice is an integral component of study abroad programs. The GESI Final Reflection Summit is designed to help students contextualize their international community development experiences within the larger issues of international development theory and practice and to look ahead to next steps beyond the program.</p> <h3>Housing</h3> <p>Housing is provided during official program dates. During Pre-Departure Seminar, students stay in accommodations in Chicago near the Northwestern Chicago campus. During in-country immersion, students stay in vetted homestays in their host communities. During Final Reflection Summit, students stay in dorms on the Evanston campus. Please note that outside of official program dates, students are responsible for their own housing arrangements. </p> <h3>Travel, Passports, & Visas</h3> <p>Please make sure to have a current passport, valid for at least six months from the end of your program. Once you are accepted to the program, you will be provided more information about applying for your visa, flight booking, etc.</p> <p>If you have more questions about the GESI program, review the program pages for your desired location(s) and <a href="gesi-faqs.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank">read through GESI FAQs</a>.</p> <h3>Scholarships and Financial Aid</h3> <p><a href="https://www.northwestern.edu/abroad/money-matters/scholarships-funding/glo-scholarships-funding.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Scholarships</a> are available to support participation in GESI for financial aid eligible students, including scholarships to cover the full program fee (tuition, room and board) and other program costs (airfare and other travel-related expenses). </p> <h3>Eligibility</h3> <p>Admission to GESI is limited to Evanston campus students only. Current students of all majors and minors and any year in school are eligible. Seniors may be eligible only if they plan to defer their graduation date to the end of the summer quarter. </p></section><section><h2>Student Stories</h2><p>One active way GESI encourages story sharing is through the Open Letters curriculum. Open Letters are an exercise to deepen reflective practice, reinforce group formation, and provide opportunities for students to convey the impact of their experiences and engagement in new ways. The Story Slam is the live recording of GESI students sharing an Open Letter. These are live recordings that have not been edited or modified.</p> <h2>Story Slam Summer 2016</h2> <p><iframe allow="autoplay" frameborder="no" height="300" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/playlists/261685476&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true&visual=true" title="Soundcloud Story Slam Recordings 2016" width="100%"></iframe></p> <h2>Story Slam Summer 2015</h2> <p><iframe allow="autoplay" frameborder="no" height="300" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/playlists/223815430&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true&visual=true" title="Soundcloud Story Slam Recordings 2015" width="100%"></iframe></p></section> </div> </div> </main> <footer> <div class="contain-1120"> <a href="https://www.northwestern.edu/" title="Northwestern University Home"> <div class="footer-logo"><span class="hide-text">Northwestern University Home</span></div> </a> <div class="footer-wrap"> <div class="footer-content contact"><h2>Global Learning Office</h2><div class="address"><div class="icon"><span>Address</span></div><div class="text"><p>1800 Sherman Avenue, Suite 4-400<br/>Evanston, IL 60208</p></div></div><div class="phone"><div class="icon"><span>Phone number</span></div><div class="text"><p><strong>Evanston</strong><br/>(847) 467-6400</p></div></div><div class="email"><div class="icon"><span>Email address</span></div><div class="text"><p><a href="mailto:global@northwestern.edu">global@northwestern.edu</a></p></div></div></div><div class="footer-content connect"><h2>Connect</h2><a class="social facebook" href="https://facebook.com/NorthwesternGLO">Facebook</a><a class="social instagram" href="https://www.instagram.com/northwestern_abroad/">Instagram</a><a class="social youtube" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzLZy-R5bFETCbb7WUm4AeQ">YouTube</a><a class="social linkedin" href="https://www.linkedin.com/groups/4923754/">Linkedin</a><a class="social wordpress" href="https://sites.northwestern.edu/studyabroadblogs/">WordPress</a></div> <div class="footer-content resources"> <h2>Northwestern Resources</h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.northwestern.edu/facilities/building-campus-access/building-access/">Building Access</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.northwestern.edu/emergency/">Campus Emergency Information</a></li> <li><a href="https://hr.northwestern.edu/careers/">Careers</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.northwestern.edu/contact.html">Contact Northwestern University</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.northwestern.edu/privacy/">Privacy Statement</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.northwestern.edu/accessibility/about/report-accessibility-issue.html">Report an Accessibility Issue</a></li> <li><a href="https://policies.northwestern.edu/">University Policies</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div id="footer-bottom"> <div class="contain-1120"> <span class="copyright">© <script>// <![CDATA[ document.write(new Date().getFullYear()) // ]]></script> Northwestern University</span> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/NorthwesternU"> <span class="social facebook">Facebook</span> </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.twitter.com/northwesternu"> <span class="social twitter">Twitter</span> </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/northwesternu"> <span class="social instagram">Instagram</span> </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/NorthwesternU"> <span class="social youtube">YouTube</span> </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@northwestern.u"> <span class="social tiktok">TikTok</span> </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/school/northwestern-university/"> <span class="social linkedin">LinkedIn</span> </a></li> </ul> <span class="right"><a href="https://www.northwestern.edu/disclaimer.html">Disclaimer</a></span> </div> </div> </footer> <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="https://common.northwestern.edu/dept/3.0/js/scripts.js"></script> <script src="https://common.northwestern.edu/dept/3.0/js/swiper.min.js"></script> <script src="https://common.northwestern.edu/dept/3.0/js/content-slider.js"></script>  </body> </html>
