Description:
The CWY program advocates learning by doing, a model in which young volunteers learn by getting involved in communities in Canada and in another country.
Highlights:
CWY is one of the few organizations in the world that offers a two-part program, with one phase in Canada and the other in another country. This is one of the most original aspects of the CWY model because it provides a perspective on how people live in both countries and fosters true dialogue between partners in the South and in the North.
