13-Jun-2023  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).
