Fundamentals of Student Safety Abroad

As part of KPU’s mandate to foster globally-minded learners, earners of this badge will go through various topics in health, culture, travel and safety abroad on Moodle as part of a comprehensive pre-departure training course. The badge will encourage students' partnership in managing their experience and being conscious of the risks of travelling and living abroad. Students will also undergo an iterative process of preparing for their experience, conducting relevant research of their destination, and reflecting on the responsibilities involved. This course is a mandatory component of the study abroad exchange semesters, summer schools, and field schools.
