By visiting local NGOs, the U.N. and schools, and hearing from local leaders, students gained insights into the impact of programs in Tanzania. In addition, there were numerous interactions like visiting the Maasai people, going on a safari, traveling to the island of Zanzibar, hiking to waterfalls and even swimming with turtles.
The course was part of the College’s FlagSHIP JanTerm, an immersive and hands-on experience in January. It included trips to Portugal, Chile and Costa Rica, as well as courses in St. Augustine that helped students explore deaf ecosystems, diversity in theatre and homeless youth.
FlagSHIP stands for Flagler Sophomore High Impact Practice, and it's one of the three pillars of Flagler’s signature Core Experience. With a focus on
real-world learning experiences like Study Abroad and collaborative, community-based partnerships, the program helps prepare students for life in a diverse, complex and ever-changing world.
