Starting in January of 2017, TTC includes six monthly pre-travel workshops , a 10-day immersive trip to Nicaragua (in June/July) and post-travel learning and continued impact with Nicaraguan youth. The workshops and travel include learning about the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals in conjunction with community development challenges and potential solutions in Nicaragua, and the use of visual storytelling exchanges about these important issues. Students will partner with a group of Nicaraguan youth throughout the year, sharing ideas, photos and videos online and getting to know their future hosts.
Participants of TTC will stay with Nicaraguan youth and their families for 3 nights, building powerful bonds through shared experiences including work on a community service project in Nicaragua. They will also enjoy outdoor adventures exploring Nicaragua’s volcanoes, beaches and lagoons, and visits to handicraft workshops and other cultural and historical sites!
