International Seminar

Catalog description

Examines qualitative interventions in public health; determines how an effective intervention is created; distinguishes which approaches are effective and which are not. Students will develop respect for the creative low technology approaches used to problem solve and learn hands-on-the-ground techniques for meeting community needs such as bulding physical structures including latrines, eco-stoves or small home. Other projects as appropriate may include teaching school children or giving hygiene instructions. Students will meet with community organizers and families who have been the recipients of interventions, and officials of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that work with the community. 1-
