The program abroad features an exciting week-long stay in Dar es Salaam, Arusha, and Zanzibar with short day trips to surrounding areas.
Professionals will have the opportunity to participate in experiential learning within a variety of community contexts, including:
(1) visits to historical sites, monuments, and museums (e.g., slave market, slave caravan, colonial buildings);
(2) visits to contemporary sites that illustrate the economic and cultural diversity of East Africa;
(3) discussions with Tanzanian experts on pre-history, slavery, and colonization;
(4) safaris in some of the most popular game drives in Africa;

TESTIMONIALS
"We went to Tanzania for 2 weeks with Dr. Kelly. Within those 2 weeks we went to Dar es Salam, Zanzibar, and Arusha. We learned about the culture and history and how that has effected current day Tanzania. We went to museums, saw historic monuments. We went to the beach and went on a safari in the mountains. This experience was life changing for me. I loved every moment. There was rarely a dull moment."
- Ryan Cayo
"I have had the pleasure to take part in 2 of the GlobeCoRe trips; the first to Tanzania as a student back in 2011 and second as a host for one of the visits within the Dubai trip this year. My experience traveling to Tanzania is still today one of my best ones traveling abroad. It included everything one enjoys in a trip overseas. Culture, history, beauty, art, food, good people, nature & beaches! Over the years I have traveled to many places and met many people whom have also visited Tanzania, but none of their experiences compared to my trip with Dr. Lewis and GlobeCore. It’s still difficult to put my experiences into words. The best word to sum it up is AMAZING! After my experience in Tanzania, my desire to learn and see more cultures were triggered and after graduation I continued to do so. I had a desire to be engulfed in a foreign country so I can explore the culture first hand. This is how I was given the opportunity to host Dr. Lewis and a group of university students to my school in Dubai, where I provide college and career counseling. My local Emirati students had the opportunity to engage in conversation with the university students about cultural differences, university life, myths about each culture and much more! This was an amazing experience for both parties and I was honored to be given the opportunity to facilitate the program. I owe much of my appreciation for cultural differences to my first overseas trip to Tanzania and I would recommend it to anyone."
