This program will not only engage and educate American youth on Uganda, but also provide them with opportunities to be “Agents of Change.” Throughout the course of this program, which will include preparatory lesson plans, GNG will prepare students to support their counterparts in Uganda through donating goods and funds to leading non-governmental agencies working to support relief efforts. more PULSE:

Students will share their thoughts with their peers, ask each other questions, and gain unique insight from Hans von Sponeck, the former UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Iraq under the Oil for Food Program. more Dates: January, February, March,
April, 2007 CURRENTS: Religions of the World is a eight-part series attached to the Semester at Sea itinerary to include three videoconferences per country. The aim of the program is for American youth participants to broaden their understanding of our world and the religions that it includes. Furthermore, the students can examine how religion plays a role in the make-up of a culture and influences national and world politics and events. Our hope is for participants to finish the program with a more critical and compassionate understanding of the fabric of our global village and be inspired to be active participants in the furthering of its prosperity. CURRENTS corresponds with the Institute for Shipboard
Education's “Semester at Sea” voyage. Read
