- High School/Grades 9-12
World Learning’s The Experiment Digital connects high school-aged participants in the U.S. and the Latin America region using online platforms. The program has two offerings: Youth Leadership & Community Service and English-Spanish Language Exchange. In Youth Leadership & Community Service, participants develop their civic engagement, leadership, and global communications skills while learning how to design and implement a service project in their local communities. In the English-Spanish Language Exchange, participants learn how to read short paragraphs, converse about their daily lives, and write descriptive passages in both English and Spanish.
Activities
In The Experiment Digital Youth Leadership & Community Service, participants engage in weekly activities via Canvas and Zoom focused on how to be more civically engaged and lead local change, and complete a final community service project. Post-program workshops and alumni reunion events are offered to supplement learning and engage participants beyond the exchange.
In The Experiment Digital English-Spanish Language Exchange, participants engage in asynchronous activities to learn how to read, write, and speak in both English and Spanish. Participants will interact with language instructors and peers around the world to practice their language skills. Post-program workshops and alumni reunion events are offered to supplement learning and engage participants beyond the exchange.
