Culture shock, seeing chronic poverty or living closely with 'the locals' can be difficult things to describe to those with an inexperienced eye.
I am a social researcher, with the Centre for Research on Social Inclusion (CRSI), looking for 20 return volunteers to participate in a project that can help you make sense of such an experience. An opportunity to share your inner thoughts and doubts on the subject with like-minded people, acquire valuable skills and be rewarded for your insights.
The project involves reflection on your own travel experiences through small contributions to an online blog over a 4 month period.
What will you gain from this experience?
- A broader understanding of your cultural experience
- Skills and experience in cultural research and travel writing
- An edited compilation of participants' final reflections
- Formal acknowledgement of participation from the CRSI
- A chance to win one of two Apple iPads
