Through this website, you will be guided through the application process, which serves many purposes, but is especially useful in that it will help you, the applicant, prepare for travel by encouraging you to:
articulate why you want to engage in this learning
think about what you could bring to a different community
and consider how the opportunity you are interested in fits within your education and personal growth.
