International Development Summer Institute – Africa Program (IDSI-AP)

A Service Learning and Training Program for Undergraduates

The International Development Summer Institute – Africa Program (IDSI-AP) provides students with the opportunity to have an applied learning and cultural experience abroad. The program consists of 5-weeks of pre-program preparation at Penn and a 4-week long training program on the campus of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Kumasi, Ghana.    

Cooperating with KNUST and several Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), ISDI-AP 2012 will give students the chance to apply classroom learning in the field and gain an insight into the world of international development. This year's team will include SEAS Systems Engineering and SAS History faculty, and an African Studies Center staff member.
