Experience Week
Our goal via these Experience Week trips is not to change the world, nor to visit places for a particular political cause. It is our hope that we are able to give our students greater life experiences that motivates each of them to take action—whether that be in how they see their place in the world, their community, or our interdependent world. Our intention is to further build the trips, to include more aspects of the curriculum, and help bring the classroom to life. We also intend to further develop a wide range of activities for students who do not travel internationally. Activities during Experience Week will include learning and service activities on campus, day trips within Qatar, and ultimately, opportunities for educational or service travel abroad.
Staysperience
Not every student or family chooses to participate in Experience Week international travel. Students who do not go on a trip will participate in ‘Staysperience’. They will be able to select from a variety of activities. Activities range from supervised study relating to the class Experience trip, to research projects, mini-courses, service activities, service day trips, crafts, or other specialized learning opportunities.
