*About the Programs*
The new millennium brings with it many opportunities and challenges. As a
member of this ever changing world, the decisions you make today not only
affect you, but others around you. What type of impact are you going to
leave behind? We invite you to spend four-six weeks in Prague, Czech
Republic
Belgium, Brussels, or Cordoba, Argentina training to become a global citizen
and future leader.
• Obtain new skills and knowledge
• Think critically about the problems we face today
• Meet people from around the world
• Broaden your knowledge about diverse cultures
• Make lasting memories
*Statements from former participants *
'One of the best experiences of my life.'
'I learned something that actually has value.'
'I believe I gained the ability to become a better leader and motivator.'
'I feel that now I can make any idea come to life.'
'I don't know how I can thank you for this incredible opportunity you gave
to me and my sister Anna. How
incredible it was to have so many different and interesting cultures in one
class that increased our knowledge
day by day and also increased our critical analysis about things around us…
I feel thirsty about knowledge and
this program made me another person with this new knowledge. I have learned
in many different ways, especially personally and I have changed a lot and
in a very positive way, which I am very happy for it. I can say with no doubts
that this was the best experience of my life."
—Olga Fernandes de Moura Leite, Brazil
'I just wanted to write you
again personally to thank you for the amazing program that you
initiated and
organized, and have been working hard to develop ever since its conception.
I returned to Connecticut a
few days ago and, in an
international academic environment, have felt the effects that the
program had on
me stronger than ever. I feel myself taking the
initiative and taking responsibility where I doubt I would
have before, and friends have made comments that lead me to
believe that the deep introspection instigated
by my stay in Prague did bear
fruit." —Soren
Sudhof, USA/Germany
"(GLP) was innovative, bold, challenging,
and new. You will meet to many interesting people and visit so
many
incredible places that I am almost jealous that it is you and
not me who will be going to Prague this
year."
—Asen Parachkevov,
Bulgaria

activities, and community service. The programs are open to undergraduate
students from around the world.

We offer specially designed courses which focus on issues of global

Work with members of the local community on service projects. These
activities are not only rewarding, but allow you to put theoretical

program, raise your awareness of human tragedy by visiting important
historical sites, such as Terezin, former concentration camp during WWII.
