CAPA WORLD

We believe Black Lives Matter and we will not be silent while structures that perpetuate systemic racism and inequality remain in place. We all have a lot of work to do, but as a start, as international educators we want to provide our community with resources on how to be anti-racist and allies to the black community.

Curious to learn more about how students can have an engaging global experience while learning remotely? Find out about CAPA's innovative online learning platform and see how students can connect with one another and engage with their study abroad location virtually.

We are pleased to announce that Diversity Abroad has named CAPA: The Global Education Network the recipient of the 2020 Excellence in Diversity & Inclusion in International Education (EDIIE) Organizational/Institutional Champion Award.

As countries, organizations, small & large businesses, schools, and universities around the globe have begun implementing social distancing policies to combat the spread of COVID-19, many of us are experiencing working from home for the first time, often in close quarters. As CAPA instituted a work-from-home policy starting on Monday, March 19, and as our students make the transition to completing their academic programs remotely, our US team rounded up these 10 helpful tips for working or learning from home.  

At CAPA, we seek to foster increased student diversity and to provide all participants with the opportunity to explore, challenge and redefine their identities in distinct ways. Launched in Spring 2017, the Diversity Advocates Program (DAP) is an extension of this philosophy and provides resources for advocates to pursue diversity initiatives of their own within their global cities.

We’re very excited to introduce and welcome our team of official bloggers and vloggers for Spring 2020!

Each of them will receive a grant accompanied by an explorer fund while they are abroad to help them generate their stories here on CAPA World. From pre-departure thoughts through their reflection upon their return to The States, we will watch the stories of these students unfold as they learn about their host country, explore and discover the real city beyond stereotypes and expectations, interact with locals, focus on their academics and complete internships.

So who are they and where are they going?

One of the eeriest places you'll find in London is the Old Operating Theatre, so in the spirit of the season, we're sharing this video of our students' experience learning what gory things went down in this theater built for the demonstration of surgical skills!

As part of our CAPA Dublin program, our students take an Excursion to the Cliffs of Moher, filled with amazing, yet sometimes windy views. Included in this day-long excursion are additional pit stops including a few hours in Galway, Ireland.

A few doors down from our CAPA Florence center you'll find an art studio and Professor Jamie Miller-Morris. Originally from the U.S., Professor Miller-Morris has been enlightening the minds of our Florence students for over 12 years!  So, without further ado, here's an inside look into one of her classes inspired by Renaissance art and the unique urbanscape of Florence.
