• High School/Grades 9-12

Culturingua’s AYWA is a seven-week virtual exchange for public high school students in Libya and San Antonio, U.S. Students learn how improvements in frameworks for health and wellbeing can prevent clinical health problems, determine an issue that exists in a particular community today, and create a plan for change in that community.

Activities

Groups work in small teams to build critical career readiness skills, better understand local and global health issues, and brainstorm a solution or initiative of their own. Participants present their ideas for how to improve one of the conditions for health and wellbeing to local leaders during a culminating event celebrating and recognizing students’ learning achievements. Participants build and improve learning outcomes, which include investigating the world beyond their immediate communities; recognizing their own and others’ perspectives; engaging in open, appropriate, and effective interactions across cultures; and translating their ideas into appropriate action to improve conditions.
