Mali: Gender and Development.

School for International Training

Bamako, Mali.

Undergraduate course.

The Mali program is a marvelous one due to its unique homestay and legendary warm hospitality. Students quickly expand their language skills while immersing into the local culture. The grand excursion to Djenné, Timbuktu and the Dogon country offers special opportunities for writing a range of ISP topics.

Cultural diversity, lively cities, and beautiful landscapes make Mali an ideal setting in which to study development initiatives in a nation attempting to preserve its cultural heritage. The program provides you with an extraordinary opportunity to examine this objective through the interplay of gender dynamics, development, and empowerment.
