BACHELOR of CHILD and YOUTH CARE
Study Tour
Expand your worldview. Learn how your beliefs, values and culture influence your work with children, youth and families. Explore issues and perspectives experienced by child and youth care workers in other countries—and discover how they can benefit your own practice back home.
In year three of the Bachelor of Child and Youth Care program, you have the opportunity to tour the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland. While there, you gain a first-hand understanding of how history, culture, religion and current political events coalesce to create unique systems of practice. On the 12-14 day study tour, you visit Technological University of the Shannon (TUS) in Ireland, Strathclyde University in Scotland and several youth care agencies. The course includes on-campus classes/meetings, guided tours, interactive assignments and presentations.
