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.

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.
