For any of our on-site programs, we also offer virtual options to transform the program into a more enriching and immersive experience for students. From our experience, having a pre-departure virtual component helps students to take full advantage of the learning journey while in country.
Prior to the start of the on-site portion of the program, we can add the following type of virtual content:
Rather than conducting the real world project in one day while in country, we can introduce the project prior to the students’ departure, giving them time to work on the project beforehand, develop closer relationships with the project host, and further develop their project management skills.
We can set up synchronous virtual sessions prior to departure where we expose students to more of the content they will see in country, such as expert roundtables and lectures.
In order to help minimize the culture shock students face upon arrival and to help optimize their time while in country, we can also offer crash courses in Brazilian culture, Portuguese language, and intercultural communication.
