Are you planning to do international service work for the first time? The International Service Preparation Series (ISPS) will begin to prepare students to think about the complicated issues they may face abroad, and help them to explore important issues related to international work in a supportive setting. The series was designed and developed by Harvard students who have been forging partnerships in Nicaragua over the past 4 years, though workshop content will draw on a  larger wealth of experiences abroad as well as case studies. These workshops will cover topics including:
 
-Working with Communities

-Project Development in Partnership with Communities

-Avoiding Paternalism

-Case Studies in Development
