2009 Training Opportunities

Last year I extended an invitation for training in India. This year I am offering on-field cross-cultural training in two locations, Kenya and India.

KENYA: July 13 – August 1. Training will be in Kitale on the campus of the International Christian Ministries a two and half week intensive and research project. The student will learn the basics of social organization, cross-cultural communication and missionary life. Along with learning the dynamics of culture through interaction with nationals in a joint classroom/campus setting, out of classroom learning will be through focused research projects, which will include field trips into the community and nearby villages.

INDIA: September 16 – October 3. Classes will be held in Hyderabad on Carmel Campus TENT. The class structure is much as described in the Kenya training program, learning together with Indian cross-cultural missionaries.

ACCREDITIATION: If a student is already enrolled in college or university, they may receive academic for these classes. Through my academic credentials it is possible that these onsite classes could be applied to an undergraduate or graduate credits.

COST - The cost of both programs vary, but includes airfare to the county, in-country travel expenses, food, lodging and nominal training fee. We expect the cost will be $2,500 or less.

ENROLLMENT: If you are interested in these training programs, please contact drrglewis@gmail.com for an application form.
