Leadership
An understanding of leadership from various cultural perspectives gives students a deeper cultural understanding of what moves people into action. This knowledge, paired with the participants' improved communication skills and leadership skills, can be a powerful tool to inflict change in their own communities and organizations, as a step towards creating good and responsible young professionals and future leaders.
“My semester with the Traveling School has affected my life in so many ways that I think it would be hard to list them all. The semester I spent abroad, the amazing girls I lived with, and the inspiring teachers that guided us, helped me realize that I love who I am. I have always been different at home, a free spirit, and often I had a hard time connecting with people in my high school who are only concerned with clothes, make-up and boys. Now I am not afraid to be myself. I have confidence in who I am and I don’t try to impress people or be someone I’m not.”
