Challenge Yourself
Intercordia Canada is an organization that facilitates international experiences for young, Canadian university students through the lens of being with rather than doing for. The primary intent of the Intercordia experience is not to change the world but to change our understanding of the world. Living and working across cultures and becoming involved in people’s lives requires us to be attentive, respectful and curious. We have developed a unique mentorship program that supports participants in critical thinking and engaging them in deep and radical learning.
Intercordia has collaborated with our host communities to research host family perspectives on hosting students from the Global North in order to better understand how we and our participants can improve our relationship.
