We’re very excited to introduce and welcome our team of official bloggers, vloggers, and TikTokers for spring 2022!
Each student 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 home, 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?
