Here are some tips and questions to consider when planning your program:
planning tips
Destinations
-
What cities or towns do you want to visit?
-
What sites do you want to see on the way?
-
What activities/interactions do you need to include to meet academic goals?
Length
-
J term or Spring Break programs typically run 9-10 days. Summer programs tend to be longer.
Pace
-
How full do you want your itinerary to be?
-
Do you need to allow free time for your students?
-
Will your students need time for journals, blogs, exploration and/or course work?
-
We generally suggest having a full morning followed by an “easier” afternoon.
-
Evenings are fantastic for activities such as walking tours.
-
On arrival day, it is best not to schedule much in case there are flight delays.
Group Size
-
We work with a minimum group size of 10 students.
-
The more students you recruit the more affordable the program will be.
Your Contacts
-
Do you have local contacts that you would like your students to meet?
Meals
-
Breakfasts are always included.
-
Do you want all dinners included?
-
We recommend not including lunches unless necessary.
Extend Your Stay
-
Your students already have paid for their flight over. If they have the time, they can extend their stay. Maybe they would like to visit another city in Brazil.
