Applications are being accepted until May 15 for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank’s educators learning tour to Nicaragua in August.
Educators of children, young people and young adults are eligible.
The tour costs about $2,800, which includes airfare and in-country costs. Financial support may be available upon request.
Organizers say they hope teachers and educators will share what they learn about global hunger issues with their students.
The two-week tour will include visits to foodgrains bank projects, a home stay with farmers, meetings with government representatives, visits to local marketplaces and debriefing sessions.
Participants will see firsthand the issues surrounding global hunger and explore topics such as skills and techniques for teaching hunger and global issues, different models of development and global citizenship.
