Subject outline
Being there makes a difference. Being there while being and becoming informed makes a bigger difference. Studies enrich and enliven when combined with travel with a purpose and focus. Students in this subject link their studies of a key issue or issues to their experiences visiting people and places relevant to their studies: a lived and experienced version of La Trobe's Global Citizenship Essential. You will join a group with similar issues to explore and curiosities to share. Besides enrolling and paying the fee for a normal subject, students also pay an extra fee for these subjects to cover the additional cost of travel, accommodation, some meals, excursions and entrance to museums and galleries. In 2019, the following instances of the subject will be offered: (1) Archaeology field schools in South Asia and South Africa, (2) Challenges facing India (Development, Health, Politics, Peace & Security) , and (3) Culture or language in-country program(s) in Chongqing(southwest) or Guangzhou (southern) in China(4) Global Innovation Program in Sarajevo in Bosnia, and (5) Connecting with Language and Culture in Greece.
