In just a few hours we will be departing from Toronto to Miami and then on to Cap-Haitien, Haiti. Here's a map of where we are heading ... see if you can find Cap-Haitien:
Our team of 20 will be involved with a number of learning experiences including primary and secondary schools, universities, and Haitian NGOs that are working with women and children. There are 10 of us from Laurier on the team and the remainder are from school boards, businesses, other universities, and the Ontario Ministry of Education. It is a great group!
We will be posting reports on this blog every day and we hope that you enjoy following along virtually! You can also follow us on Twitter if you want more real-time updates and pictures: #LaurierHaiti2015.
"Global" and "local" are constructs which no longer adequately capture our lived experience. "Glocal" attempts to capture the melding of international and local realities. This blog provides an opportunity to consider how we can develop glocal thinking and encourage others to do so as well.
