The Institute of African Studies is pleased to announce that it has signed a memorandum of agreement with Youth In Development, a Canadian organization devoted to getting youth more involved and engaged with international development. This provides another way for Carleton students in African Studies and other programs to have an incredible experiential learning opportunity on the continent.
The Semester in Development has been specifically designed to help participants bridge the gap between theory and practice. Students spend a semester in Uganda where they are take two accredited courses on conflict and development at Makerere University, one of Africa’s most prestigious institutions. Students also intern with one of their partner NGOs or social enterprises.
For more information of the Semester in Development program, please consult their website,www.youthindevelopment.ca, and discuss with the Institute of African Studies (African_studies@carleton.ca).
