Interested in hosting a Discovery Camp Winter 2024?

What is the Discovery Camp Program? Discovery Camps are immersive intercultural experiences during the summer or winter months, typically lasting 7-10 days. The host institutions organize the content and pay for all in-country expenses (tuition, accommodation, meals, field trips, etc.), so that a diversity of students from around the UMAP consortium can attend. Discovery Camps enable UMAP member institutions and countries to showcase their countries and cultures to students from across the UMAP network.  Applicants interested in hosting a Discovery camp can choose between offering a camp in the summer or winter season. Programs must include content related to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Interested in applying to host a Discovery Camp? The hosting application is now open, with a deadline of July 14, 2023 for programs taking place in January or February 2024. Please use this link to access the application: https://forms.gle/pp3Fv1MnHYCmazmNA Applications to host Discovery Camps will be reviewed by UMAP’s Strategic Planning and Sustainable Development Goals Taskforce. Please note that this is a competitive process and it may not be possible to select all applicants.

An online information session will be offered for UMAP members who want to learn about hosting a Discovery Camp.  The session will take place June 13, 2023 19:00 Vancouver time (20:00 Mexico City/ next day 06/14 02:00 UTC / 09:00 Jakarta / 11:00 Tokyo)  Please register here:  https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJItdeCupjktEt37SGi0qXIXgz_…
