Citizen Ambassador
Travel
Our Citizen
ambassador travel programs are designed for groups of interested
and socially-minded individuals who want to look behind the scenes
and bridge cultural and political borders through education and
exchange. Personal interaction and learning are key to these
experiences. You will look at the opportunities and challenges of
Africans and their nations when it comes to political, economic,
developmental, social, environmental, cultural, legal, educational
and health-related issues. You will engage in facilitated dialogues
and conversations with a variety of hosts that stretch from
grassroots organizations and communities to the top level of
government, the economy and society. Professional meetings, site
visits, community service and academic input are balanced with
leisure and pleasure activities, sightseeing, "down time" and an
exclusive travel environment.
Our citizen ambassadors have an important role to play. During their
stay at the host destination, they represent their home country,
allow their hosts a glimpse of the world beyond their own
environment, and foster a love of learning and curiosity about the
world. Later, when returning home, they become true ambassadors of
the people they have met. In many cases, they even develop the
desire to do more - to raise awareness, to advocate for change or to
become personally involved. This way, they contribute to break down
stereotypes and misinformation and help to understand issues beyond
what is frequently communicated by the mass media.
Example programs:
- 'Mission
in understanding' - looking behind the scenes of a society by
exploring particular subjects or holistic approaches affecting a
nation
-
'Development as freedom' - approaching development and poverty
reduction in a holistic way along the lines of Nobel laureate
Amartya Sen's influential thesis
-
'Understanding humanitarian issues' - exploring subjects related
to poverty, civil war and armed conflict, child soldiers, human
trafficking etc
