Make Your Summer Matter | Innovative summer abroad programs for high school students

The Experiment in International Living provides summer abroad programs for high school students who want to connect deeply and engage meaningfully with the richness and complexities of another country. Participants explore the host country through hands-on experiences in local communities and through the lens of a specific theme.

Programs are designed to equip participants not only with essential cultural skills and, in many cases, language skills, but also with a deeper awareness of and sensitivity to critical global issues shaping the diverse communities and regions we visit.

Each year, hundreds of Experimenters come away from their summer abroad with invaluable new skills, connections, awareness, and knowledge that help them to thrive—and lead—in diverse, intercultural environments.

The Experiment in International Living has been offering immersive experiential learning programs abroad since 1932. Today, The Experiment offers summer programs for high school students in Europe; the Americas; Africa, south of the Sahara; North Africa and the Middle East; and Asia and the Pacific. The Experiment is committed to providing participants from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds with access to The Experiment’s immersive cross- cultural programs through its partnerships, scholarships, and other initiatives. See pages 78–79 for details.

Program ComponentsEach Experiment program is composed of several of the following components, which add depth to the program theme. Component descriptions can be used as an overall guide to assist in choosing a program that best fits each student’s interests. The components associated with each program are listed on the individual program pages. A comparative component rating guide, which indicates the level of intensity of each component, is provided in the Programs at a Glance table on pages 82–85.

Homestay Participants spend a portion of the program living as a member of a local host family, joining in the family’s daily lives and activities

“ We learned to be leaders, to challenge each other, to grow and learn, to value our differences, to be a team member, and to be an individual.”

Elizabeth Whitney Experimenter to France, Pembroke Hill School


Experiment Group LeadersEach Experiment group is accompanied by two trained adult leaders. Maximizing the safety and health of all participants is each group leader’s top priority.

Ongoing Support—from Program Start to FinishExperimenters are met by their two group leaders at a specific meeting location in the designated port of depar-ture in the US. Group leaders immediately start engaging participants in conversations and ice-breaker activ-ities. Right away—and continuing throughout the in-country orientation—leaders work with Experimenters to increase their knowledge of the host country and culture, develop communication skills, and cultivate new attitudes and awareness.

During the course of the program, group leaders keep in close contact with homestay families, conduct group excursions, and guide participants through discussions of and reflections on their experiences.

At the end of the program, leaders help participants evaluate their experiences and assist them in considering how they can integrate what they learned about themselves and the world into their lives moving forward.

Group Leader Qualifications Experiment group leaders are chosen for their leadership skills, particularly in working with young people, and their cross-cultural experience and language competence. The Experiment selects group leaders who have:

• A bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience

• Leadership experience working with high school students

• Experience studying and living overseas

• Competence in the language of the host country

Group leaders are responsible adults who support Experimenters in a number of ways.

The Experiment places the highest priority on health, safety, and security. Each program follows a comprehensive structure designed to maximize the well-being of all participants while they engage in dynamic cross-cultural experi-ences. We have implemented specific risk management strategies that include a 24-hour emergency on-call service and regular safety reviews. We hire and train experienced adult group leaders and maintain longstanding partner-ships with in-country offices to support each of our programs.

Because socioeconomic, political, environmental, and medical conditions vary widely across the more than 20 coun-tries in which The Experiment operates, health, safety, and security measures are specifically tailored to each location and to current circumstances.

Support in the areas of health, safety, and security includes: • Pre-departure preparation. The Experiment helps participants prepare for their program throughout the

pre-departure process by providing sample itineraries, a student handbook, packing lists, travel logistics, and health guidelines that include recommendations related to immunizations and medications.

• In-country partners. Each Experiment group is supported by an extensive professional network of in-country resources that can include partner offices, international educators, homestay coordinators, in-country co- leaders, and program guides. Our partner offices help us design each program and support our groups throughout the program period. These in-country professionals have access to communications, healthcare, and transportation infrastructure to make sure that each student receives the highest quality attention and support.

• Two group leaders. Each Experiment group is accompanied by two trained adult leaders. Group leaders maintain ongoing contact with all participants throughout the program and work collaboratively with our in-country partners and The Experiment office in Vermont. For more information on Experiment group leaders, please see page 6.

• Comprehensive in-country orientation. Each program begins with a multi-day orientation. The orientation focuses on increasing cultural knowledge—e.g., survival language skills and in-country norms—as well as developing partici-pants’ cross-cultural communication skills and self-awareness, specifically within the context of the host country.

• Medical insurance. Each student is covered by the World Learning medical insurance policy that provides accident and sickness coverage and emergency evacuation coverage. Please note that this insurance is intended to act as a secondary policy for participants who are already insured.

• Ongoing monitoring. The Experiment monitors US government advisories, considering those issued both by in-country embassies and consulates and by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, DC. The Experiment also consults with academic and nongovernmental organizations through the global networks of World Learning, The Experiment’s parent organization, and receives strong support through World Learning’s institutional risk management committee.

• Twenty-four-hour on-call support. The Experiment in International Living is supported by professional student affairs staff based at The Experiment’s headquarters in Brattleboro, Vermont. Our staff maintains a 24-hour on-call safety and emergency response system for any health, safety, or security concerns that might arise throughout the program. The Experiment can be reached toll-free within the US at 800 345-2929 or at 802 258-3481.

Health, Safety, and Security


The Homestay ExperienceThe homestay has been the cornerstone of Experi-ment programs for more than 80 years. Living with a host family facilitates cultural immersion in a deeply meaningful way and provides a unique vantage point from which to better understand and experience the host country. It is through the homestay that Ex-perimenters truly go from being a visitor of the host country to a fully immersed participant.

Homestay PlacementsOur in-country partners work year round to match participants with the best possible families. Staff facilitate an extensive recruitment and vetting process that includes home visits and, where per-missible, background checks. Host families attend orientation sessions and pre-arrival meetings prior to meeting their host student. The Experiment also considers as much as possible the interests of both the student and the local host families when identify-ing homestay placements. Experimenters are placed together in the same town or geographic area, which allows for group get-togethers, meetings, and cultural activities and for participants to easily access the group leaders. The homestay ex-perience is between one and three weeks, depending on the program.

Other AccommodationsWhen not living with a homestay family, participants stay in appropriate accommodations with their group and group leaders. These accommodations may include guest houses, educational institutions, hostels, or small hotels. See individual program pages in this catalog or on the website for program-specific details.

“ Not only was my homestay family kind, fun, and welcoming, but they introduced me to so much. From bike riding in the streets of Valencia, to learning how to cook the famous paella, drinking horchata, and walking the coastlines of the beaches, my homestay family helped me adapt to my new home and made me love their beautiful and unique culture.”

India: Public Health and Community DevelopmentExamine public health priorities and community development in urban and rural areas of northern India.

India’s capital, Delhi, and the immediate surrounding region is home to more than a thousand NGOs actively engaged in the health and development sectors. The National Human Rights Commission, the National Commission for Women, and other rights-based bodies have headquarters in Delhi. Within this dynamic environment, advance your leadership skills and knowledge of a critical global issue—health and its relationship with community development—building on the intensive training and leadership sessions you received in Washington, DC.

Through lectures, site visits, and workshops in three Indian states—Delhi, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh—you explore equity and healthcare rights, the political economy of health, social determinants of health, caste discrimination, and other key issues shaping Indian communities and the country’s healthcare landscape. Hone your leadership skills by facilitating weekly syntheses of learning and reflection, which may include facilitating debates, question-and-answer sessions, and small-group discussions. Together with your group, consider strategies for human rights and healthcare advocacy within the public health arena as you meet with public health specialists, physicians, professors, grassroots activists, and health practitioners across northern India. During the rural excursion to Bahraich District in Uttar Pradesh, participate in a seven-day workshop with a locally based organization working for improved public health, community development, and/or human rights.

As your knowledge of India’s healthcare and development challenges rapidly expands, you experience Indian culture and daily life, especially through the homestay with an Indian host family in Delhi. Receive Hindi language instruction, and visit important cultural and historical sites including the Taj Mahal. Other activities include meeting with Indian youth who are advocating civic engagement and social change.

South Africa: Youth Leadership in Peace, Politics, and Human RightsExamine human rights, multiculturalism, and inequality in the context of South Africa, a country that has undergone an extraordinary transition from the brutality of apartheid to democracy and improved social cohesion.

South Africa—home to exceptional leaders and peace activists such as Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu—provides a fascinating backdrop in which to investigate the complex dynamics of intercultural leadership, youth activism, and political and social change.

Through leadership workshops, seminars, meetings with NGOs, and field visits to sites of historical and cultural significance across South Africa, you build on the intensive leadership and activism training you received in Washington, DC. Examine inequality and poverty; racial, ethnic, and gender-based discrimina-tion; and current South African politics and socioeconomic realities. Togeth-er with your group, meet with a range of institutions involved in providing leadership training and mentoring, including the UKZN Leadership Center and the Nelson Mandela Foundation. Engage with South African youth of different ethnic, religious, and class backgrounds who are working to advance change and exert leadership on issues of local and global relevance.

Discover the significant role that the city of Durban has played in South African history, including the city’s role in the struggle against apartheid. Reflect on the kind of leadership that emerged from Durban. Continue to expand your knowl-edge of South Africa through field visits in other areas of the country, including to Cape Town, Johannesburg, rural areas of KwaZulu-Natal, the Umfolozi and Hluhluwe game reserves, and the Drakensberg mountain range.

The program is grounded in the experiences of South Africa, but the focus is nationally and internationally comparative. While investigating leadership and activism in the context of South Africa, you will be challenged to draw and reflect on the experiences of your home community and country in address-ing—or not addressing—many of the same critical issues you examine in South Africa. You continue to advance your leadership capacity as you return to the US for synthesis sessions, briefings, and brainstorming sessions. During this final stage of the program, you begin working on a post-program project of your choosing to be implemented in your home community.
