PEACE program Service-learning internship and directed research, spring 2007

Description

The purpose of your project is to enable you to work with Gambians in areas of mutual interest. You will be challenged to improve your language and intercultural interaction skills in a Gambian workplace under the supervision of PEACE partners who you will meet during orientation. During your first month, concentrate on trying to understand the structure and function (people, positions, and roles) of your workplaces. Can you contribute to meeting the mission of the organization? You are required to write a weekly reflective essay each week and give a copy to Yamai Secka-Jack, your supervisor, and send an electronic copy to me. In your essay, be sure to write about each workplace for the first month.


Think about the research skills you have and the research skills you want to improve upon or learn during this first month. By the end of the first month, you should submit to Yamai Secka-Jack and Bill Roberts a list of at least three research topics and questions that you think are worthwhile and feasible to investigate over the remaining period you will be in Gambia. From these questions, a directed research project will be formulated for the student to undertake. The project will culminate in a paper that includes the student’s primary research and other experiences in Gambia.


Baturu Camara (Gambian youth advocate) will supervise your service-learning work with schools, the President’s Award scheme, and possibly the Gambian Tourism Authority, helping to develop skills among Gambian youth, and looking at skills development activities in Gambia.
