What is the AFS Student Learning Journey 2.0?

The upgraded Student Learning Journey takes a step further on local orientations, monthly contacts and learning reflections, by including the opportunity for students to meet virtually and learn as part of a global cohort. We have joined forces with the University of Pennsylvania’s (UPenn) to create an updated curriculum which is specifically targeted to exchange program participants, beginning in NH20, It combines the existing journey with theories for social impact, so that students can pilot a social intervention during their AFS journey, equipping them to become Active Global Citizens. This program is for 18- AFS mobility program students as part of their student learner journey.

What is the workload?

On-boarding & training: up to 10 hours of online learning and a 90-min online live training webinar.
Facilitated dialogue sessions: up to FIVE 90-min online live sessions until December 2021.
