International Seminar

Six weeks that will change your life

For over 60 years, the WUSC-initiated International Seminar has provided Canadian students with their first in-depth experience in a developing country. Now run by the Uniterra program, the annual seminar offers an unforgettable opportunity to build bridges to a more equitable world and empowers both Canadian and host country participants to become development advocates on campuses and beyond.

Through the International Seminar, Canadian students will join students from this year’s host country for a six-week collaborative community project. Students gain a real-world understanding of a particular development issue while supporting a local development organization.

The next International Seminar will take place in Mali during the summer of 2012. Please visit the Uniterra website for more information or to apply.  

 

 

The Uniterra International Seminar is undertaken with the financial support of the Government of Canada provided through the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and donors like you.
