Journalism Track: work with professional journalists to research and produce a full-length print or broadcast feature story on a topic related to the theme of the program
Academic Track: conduct field research and produce a substantial academic paper
Internship track: engage in an internship that will allow them gaining work experience and professional and intercultural skills at a local organization.
