ITINERARY UPON REQUEST

Cross-Cultural Solutions

Your Insight Abroad Placement in Brazil!

Your work as an Insight Abroad participant is project-based and requires no prior experience - just a desire to pitch-in and help the community. No matter what your prior experience or placement, both the local people and CCS staff look forward to your arrival.

As an Insight participant, you'll get a chance to see these invaluable services up close, and to participate in a meaningful way. And in doing so, you'll be involved in areas of work that are at the very core of this country's social system. You'll have the opportunity to experience first-hand how politics can shape a society, and in just one week, you'll gain an insider's perspective of this community - one that you could never plan on accessing in your ordinary travels.

While the city of Salvador is rich in beauty, it's also home to many shantytowns, or ""favelas"". In the favelas, Partner organizations are working to provide extra education and health care to the residents. As a participant, you'll be invited by the community into their neighborhoods to discuss and share in community concerns - and work side-by-side with local people to create solutions that matter. As part of this experience, you'll get the incredible opportunity to work with the local children, supplying some of their most basic needs. Participants are often surprised to discover that they receive much more from their daily interactions than they actually end up giving.

In fact, Cross-Cultural Solutions participants have become so popular in many neighborhoods that children from other neighborhoods often make a trip just to visit with them!
