Examine cross-cultural influence in global cultures.
Part I:
Introduce the country you have selected–either Brazil or India. Give context for why going to this location will give students the opportunity to experience a diverse culture. What is the reason that students should be sent to this particular country? End the introduction with a persuasive thesis for the proposal ahead. Hint: the thesis will likely be about the administration being totally convinced that this trip is the perfect cross-cultural opportunity for the budgeted funds.
Part II:
Highlight at least three activities that students can participate in while in your selected country. Introduce the activity, explain what students will learn about the culture, and describe what you expect will be the influence and result of this cross-cultural opportunity.
Since students should be learning about cross-cultural influences in either India or Brazil, you will want to feature activities that highlight these elements in your trip. For example, why should these activities be selected over all other possibilities in the country? What makes them unique and a good choice for the course objectives?
Aim to make the tour plausible. While there will be interesting opportunities all over the country, you should select three activities that can also be reached with ease. For example, you may have two activities in one city and make the third a day trip to a location that can be reached by bus or train.
Part III:
Create a final persuasive appeal that helps to convince the administrators that this one-of-a-kind opportunity will effectively communicate the course outcomes. Find ways to stress the importance of learning about cross-cultural influences firsthand. Encourage the administration by emphasizing both the entertaining and educational aspects of your trip. You will be evaluated on leadership in this assignment, so be sure that you are creating a vision for the reader that may inspire them to act.
