For over two decades, Visthar offered a Study-Abroad programme to Liberal Arts Colleges, Gustavus Adolphus College and Concordia College, Minnesota, USA. The programme attracted students pursuing a wide range of academic courses and social engagements. During the 105-day stay and immersion into contemporary Indian realities, students would travel to six states in India and interact with grassroots communities accompanied by a faculty leader. Through field visits, classroom work and study they not only encounter Indian culture but also gain a first-hand understanding of the impact of global policies on countries such as India. The semester was accredited by the colleges.
The programme includes the following courses:
- Religion, Ethics and Social Change
- Earth care and Adaptation
- Human Rights and Economic Justice
- Democracy, Conflict and Peace
Visthar offers the course to overseas educational institutions. Please write to [email protected] for details.
