#GivingTuesday #GiveToCEPA

We are excited to celebrate #GivingTuesday this year with you. Giving happens all year-round and in many different ways at CEPA and through our non-profit organization, the CEPA Foundation.

Whether we are giving funds to support charitable and educational projects in Guatemala, or if CEPA Foundation is giving scholarships to help students afford study abroad programs, the spirit of giving is a cornerstone of the people at CEPA.

In the spirit of global giving, we have thought 15 great reasons how supporting CEPA’s worthwhile causes is one way you can help strengthen our world:

Expand the global horizons of university students and our future leaders
Create an opportunity for a student to fulfill a dream
Inspire a student to learn another language
Create a space of understanding differences

European Study Center (ESC) Heidelberg:
Student Run Project for Refugees

Continue to bring joy to the students of Heidelberg and the children of the refugee center

Charitable Projects in Guatemala

Support more homes being built in partnership with TECHO
Give a family a smoke reducing stove for them to use for warmth and cooking which in turn, reduces their health and respiratory problems

Give hope to those less fortunate

100% of your donation will go toward the project of your choice and as a nonprofit, your donation is tax-deductible.

Let #GivingTuesday kick off the holiday spirit of supporting something good.

Faculty-Led Programs: Framing Intercultural learning on faculty-led programs: Helping students engage with their hosts

Date: Monday, October 24, 2016

Time: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm (Central Time Zone)

Presented by:

Steven Duke, Ph.D., Assistant Vice President for Global Strategy and International Initiatives at the University of Nebraska, a four-campus system
Lynn C. Anderson, Academic Director, CEPA Foundation

Description:

This webinar takes an in-depth look at strategies for framing intercultural learning on programs led by home-campus faculty. It focuses on both the pre-departure and while-abroad stages and will offer suggestions for simple but powerful ways faculty and education abroad professionals can frame the experience to motivate students and provide students with specific and concrete examples and exercises on how to engage. This extended and intentional interaction with host-country individuals is a key part of the cross-cultural learning experience.

The presentation will last approximately 40 minutes and a 20 min. interactive Q&A discussion with the presenters will follow.

Registration:

Registration is free of charge to faculty, study abroad staff, and administrators at colleges and universities.

Employees and staff from third-party or educational providers, other institutions or companies in the US or abroad, independent consultants, or other individuals are asked to make a contribution of at least $125 to register and participate in the webinar. This contribution will help support the charitable projects which CEPA Foundation currently has undertaken in Vuelta Grande, Guatemala.
