Culture, Ecology and Community - Thailand
ISDSIs semester is a rich, hands-on learning experience exploring Thailand's diverse cultures and landscapes, learning directly from the people involved in creating a more sustainable world.
Based in Chiang Mai, ISDSI semester students spend significant time immersed in Thailand's cultures and ecosystems. Our unique Expedition Field Courses involve traveling and studying throughout Thailand, from remote mountain villages in the North to the islands in the South. Students engage in hands-on learning, with assignments ranging from skin-diving coral reefs to organic farming in a rural village. They live with local families, hike, sea kayak, and travel through the landscapes they study during expeditions. During each block, students also complete an independent research project.
Strong partnerships with local communities are key to the success of ISDSI courses. We work with them to help tell their stories. As a result, our partner communities are passionate about connecting with and teaching our students and sharing their lives, knowledge, and struggles. Students become part of grassroots solutions to global problems while living with and learning from the local people.
