MAYMESTER: COMMUNITY & SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTH AFRICA DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 1ST
The Social Work: Community and Social Development Maymester program in Accra, Ghana has been re-located to Cape Town, South Africa for spring 2015 only. As we continue to monitor the Ebola crisis in West Africa, information for 2016 and beyond will be announced at a later date.
This program engages students in service learning projects working alongside social entrepreneurs in South Africa’s townships who are driving social and economic development in their own communities. Students will engage in collaborative service learning projects working alongside local social entrepreneurs who provide services or products in areas such as arts/dance, business/communications, technology/engineering, education, health, etc. In addition, students will be exposed to educational excursions and local lecturers to learn about the context of poverty and power and empowerment in post-apartheid South Africa.
