Good Exposure Trips [TD]
As seen in our previous course, ‘Avoiding the Pitfalls of Short-Term Missions’, research has shown that many forms of short-term volunteering actually do harm to the very communities they are trying to serve. In this course, we explore what methods are shown to lead to positive outcomes for both the communities hosting trips, and the communities visiting them.
Learning Objectives
- Understand how to plan short-term trips which minimise harm
- Understand the effects of short-term trips on volunteers and locals
Learning Outcomes
- Participants will be able to plan ethical short-term trips while remaining mindful of the pitfalls
- Participants will be able to participate in peer learning in a safe and encouraging environment
