Malawi Leadership, Service, Teaching, and Learning Study Abroad

Engage in participatory action research in schools with Malawian colleagues, during summer term and make a difference for a lifetime: yours and theirs. Students can take 3 to 6 credit hours through this study abroad experience and should meet with their advisor to discuss whether these credit hours count towards their academic concentration in the teacher education programs.

The experience entails:

Experienced research faculty from UNCW mentor student participatory action research projects in schools
Work in schools-community with students and teachers.
