North Island College Human Services Students Study Abroad in the Philippines
NIC human services students are in Cebu, Philippines May 1 to 28, gaining academic credit as they take part in a variety of community development projects in partnership with Cebu Normal University
Eight second-year NIC students are travelling with their instructor Susan Shantz to remote communities surrounding Cebu to engage in parenting education, cultural preservation and education, out-of-school youth development and more. While the trip is one of many study abroad opportunities available to NIC students, it is the first time NIC human services students will participate in an international practicum placement.
