Volunteer with WUSC: International Seminar
Each summer 20 post-secondary students from across Canada join 20 students from the global South for the International Seminar, a unique six-week educational experience that changes their lives. With its grassroots approach to learning, the International Seminar lets you: - Gain a solid, real-world understanding of a development issue
- Work in a cross-cultural context in a developing country
- Conduct a group project to support a local development organization.
But your Seminar experience doesn't end there. You'll also engage with others on and off campus to raise awareness about development challenges and the Millennium Development Goals. Find out more about the 2010 International Seminar to Nepal. The International Seminar is offered through Uniterra, a joint program of WUSC and the Centre for International Studies and Cooperation (CECI). A Tradition Since 1948 For over 60 years, WUSC's annual International Seminar has provided Canadian students with their first in-depth experience in a developing country. 1948 - Germany 1949 - Holland 1950 - France 1951 - Canada 1952 - Europe 1953 - India 1954 - Europe and West Africa 1955 - Japan 1956 - Germany 1957 - Ghana 1958 - Yugoslavia 1959 - West Indies 1960 - Israel 1961 - Sweden 1962 - Poland 1963 - Pakistan 1964 - Algeria 1965 - Chile 1966 - Turkey 1967 - Canada 1968 - West Africa 1969 - Canada 1970 - Mexico 1971 - Colombia 1972 - Peru 1973 - India 1974 - Caribbean and Central America 1975 - Egypt 1976 - Guyana 1977 - China and Acadie 1978 - Senegal and Western Canada 1979 - Sri Lanka and Ontario | 1980 - Tunisia 1981 - Ecuador 1982 - Costa Rica 1983 - Egypt 1984 - Haiti 1985 - Thailand 1986 - Mauritius 1987 - Zimbabwe 1988 - Mali 1989 - Leeward and Windward Island 1990 - Morocco 1991 - Botswana 1992 - Brazil 1993 - Indonesia 1994 - Benin 1995 - Vietnam 1996 - Peru 1997 - Peru 1998 - Vietnam and Botswana 1999 - Benin and Zimbabwe 2000 - Benin and Malawi 2001 - Vietnam 2002 - Vietnam 2003 - Benin 2004 - Malawi 2005 - Burkina Faso 2006 - Botswana 2007 - Ghana and Burkina Faso 2008 - Ghana 2009 - Peru 2010 - Nepal |
