In 2014, the Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies will offer an International Field Course to Cuba. The overall aim of the course is to provide students with the opportunity to learn firsthand about the culture of a different country in a way that informs their practice within the field of recreation and leisure and their understanding of themselves as global citizens. In addition, through their role as teachers, workers, colleagues, and advocates, the students in this course will also play an important role in the development of recreation in Cuba.
This course will run in two parts. In the winter term (Jan-April 2014), students will meet as a class weekly for 3 hours. You must register for RECL 4P93 Global Policies in Recreation and Leisure. Each week will have a different focus: learning about Cuba and Cuban life; discussion and reflection on issues in international sport and sport for development, preparation for travelling; and developing a lesson plan that will be delivered while in Cuba.
