Crossing Cultures program in Senegal, West Africa

Intercultural Dimensions, Inc. announces its next Crossing Cultures Senegal program.

Intercultural Dimensions, Inc. (a 501(c)(3) educational organization) offers a unique and stimulating travel and educational program focused on the French-speaking Republic of Senegal, West Africa. The program dates for the 2013 Crossing Cultures Senegal program are January 5 to January 21. It will be ID's 22nd program to Senegal.

Led by two former U.S. Peace Corps volunteers, this well-established cultural immersion program appeals to people in and out of academia. It works well for those who want to experience family life and community projects in rural areas of this diverse nation and for those with special interests in dance and music training, teaching, literature, environment, medicine, government, NGOs, agriculture, language and health projects. Past participants have said this is a life-changing program.

The Crossing Cultures Senegal group (three leaders and three to five participants) is small allowing the leaders to tailor activities to the participants' interests.

Reasonable cost. Extended stays for volunteer work or field study can be facilitated. This program is an eye-opener. For some it can be a stepping stone to their future; for others it can be an enrichment of the work they are already doing. Applications are being accepted now.
