Power of Place to Build Connections
The Crossing Borders: Using the Power of Place to Build Connections project at Vancouver Island University will use Place Based Learning as an innovative approach to work and study abroad experiences that explore the many ways in which we understand identity. Through Interdisciplinary Field Schools, Academic Exchanges and Internships, VIU undergraduate students will collaborate with each other and explore who they are and where they are in terms of land, culture and history and how their sense of place influences the ways they operate in the world. Through this project more than 55 VIU students will benefit from $500,000 in funding over the next three years (2021-2025). International work and study experiences offered through the Crossing Borders project will unlock students’ endless potential through the development of life-changing global skills.
This project is funded by Global Skills Opportunity (GSO), the Government of Canada's outbound mobility pilot program.
