THE DRAGONS JOURNAL


CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

The Dragons Journal Mission & Description: The Dragons Journal is a compilation of stories, ideas, and experiences of our participants, alum, educators and international colleagues, and communities. It is a publication of Where There Be Dragons, an experiential education organization dedicated to nurturing meaningful intercultural relations through immersive travel. The Dragons Journal has a circulation of about 12k copies and is mailed out to alum, schools, counselors, new participants, and more. Content is often recirculated by blog and social media. The Journal is also tied directly into Dragons values of exploring the full spectrum of human experiences, amplifying marginalized perspectives,  and planting the seeds of a more just, compassionate, and equitable society and future.

Example: Here's a digital version of the 2019 issue.

What We’re Seeking:  In each publication we try to represent all of Dragons programming (Student, Adult, Educator/Partnership), a range of regional areas, and a diversity of voices. We invite anyone from within Dragons community (alumni, staff, participants, community hosts, admin, etc.)  to submit all forms of literary essays and sub-genres of creative nonfiction. This includes:


    
 	
  • personal essays
    • 
 	
  • Interviews
    • 
 	
  • co-authored essays
    • 
 	
  • lyrical essays
    • 
 	
  • flash (super short) essays
    • 
 	
  • research-based essays
    • 
 	
  • literary journalism
    • 
 	
  • travelogues
    • 
 	
  • poems  & lyrics
    • 
 	
  • photo essays
    • 
 	
  • true stories
    • 
 	
  • experimental forms:  lists, step-by-steps, re-definitions, and hermit crab essays
    • 
 	
  • Submission or nomination of Yaks also encouraged!

    • 


What We’re Especially Seeking: Co-authored pieces that demonstrate a collaborative approach to sharing multiple perspectives;  stories that feature voices and perspectives not often heard or that don’t normally have access to being heard; value-based essays. Examples: 

    
 	
  • A collaborative essay that tackles one issue/subject from the perspective of student, hosting community member, instructor and/or other. 
    • 
 	
  • A student interview of her homestay sister and/or vice versa. 
    • 
 	
  • A homestay mother conversation with a student’s mother at home.  
    • 
 	
  • A photo essay documenting the day of an NGO worker or ISP mentor. 
    • 
 	
  • An essay written on any subject in tandem between  instructors of different citizenships.
    • 
 	
  • ANYTHING! We’re simply encourage creative thinking and collaboration!
    • 


Submission Guidelines: The Dragons Journal typically features 1-pg and 2-pages essays between roughly 600-1500 words.  We sometimes publish one longer essay of up to 2,500 words. Typically the editorial process involves cutting copy, so it’s okay to submit essays between 600-3,000 words. If selected for publication, there will be an editorial revision process and a request for a writer byline and supplemental hi-resolution photos (if existing). The Dragons Journal Committee will finalize the selection for each print issue. 

Timeline: Essays submitted by June 1st  will get priority consideration for publication in the next year’s issue. But we accept submissions all year long and might also publish essays on Dragons Blog, via our Social Channels, or elsewhere. 

How to Submit:  Questions, proposals, nominations, and submissions can be emailed to christina@wheretherebedragons.com.

We're super excited to see and share this announcement from Tufts University.

Here's an excerpt from The Tuft's Daily article titled, Tufts Civic Semester to Offer Overseas Service Opportunities to Incoming First-Years:

"Civic Semester is intended to be embedded in the academic experience at Tufts,' McAndrew said.


The program is fully funded by tuition, and all financial aid that a student receives is applied to the Civic Semester, Dean of Tisch College Alan Solomont said.



“[The Civic Semester] really should be open to all students,” Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences Jim Glaser said.


Students participating in the program will complete on-campus orientation with their fellow classmates in September, according to Glaser. Glaser expressed his belief that completing regular orientation on campus with students who are not participating in the program will be a positive experience.


“They will go through orientation with all of the students they come back to,” Glaser said. “The beauty of this is that it … allows students to have a full [orientation] experience.”


Tisch College partnered up with Where There Be Dragons, a well-known program provider for academic gap semesters and years, according to Solomont.


“[Tisch College] looked at all the programs who do this just to pick the best one,” Solomont said.


In the program’s first year, it will admit 25 students. However, Solomont said that there is room for growth in the program, saying that it could expand to 100 more students in future years."

Did you know that Dragons now offers College Study Abroad SUMMER programs in Bolivia and China?


Like all our College Study Abroad Programs, our approach to these new 4-week long summer offerings is to provide high-quality academic experiences in unconventional places. In addition to rigorous academic exploration, we learn by doing, travel like locals, live with families, and get dirty for the sake of discovery.


These programs offer college study abroad students the opportunity to dive into the heart of either Bolivia or China. We do so through language study, homestays, and workshops focused on pressing local and cultural issues. Students earn 4 semester credits in Spanish or Mandarin and receive a transcript from our School of Record. Both programs run from July 10 - August 8, 2019 and language learners at all levels are welcome to apply.



Here is a snapshot of each program:




Bolivia - 4-week Language and Cultural Exploration: Students expand their Spanish language abilities through interactive instruction, investigate Bolivian culture in an extended rural homestay, and learn first-hand from local communities. To learn more about the Dragons Bolivia summer program, visit the Bolivia Summer College Abroad Program page.




China - 4-week Language and Cultural Exploration: Students experience life in rural and urban China while improving their Mandarin language skills, engage in multiple homestays, and examine complex cultural issues. To learn more about the Dragons China summer program, visit the China Summer College Abroad Program page.


We hope you enjoy exploring these new options for college students! Feel free to be in touch with questions anytime.


Sincerely,


Cara Lane-Toomey and Shino Yoshen

Attention Alumni: This week on Instagram, we're giving away SEVEN Dragons hot drink mugs (pictured) to Dragons Alumni.

Want your chance at one?  This is easy. 

1. Just post your favorite photo from your Dragons trip to Instagram by 2/27 with the hashtag #dragonsalum (so we can find and re-share your photo). You're welcome to post/enter as many times as you'd like, but you can only win one mug. :)

2. On Feb 28th, we'll announce our favorite SEVEN photos (AKA mug winners) on Dragons Instagram Profile and Dragons Blog.

(Check out the #dragonsalum photos/shoutouts already coming in!) 

Can’t wait to see and re-share your photos.

Good luck,

Dragons HQ

Ps. Instagram only lets us see photos that are posted to public accounts, but if you have a private profile and still want to participate: 1. Follow @wheretherebedragons 2. Post your photo to your IG profile 3. DM the photo on Instagram to us @wheretherebedragons.


Pss. If you prefer to post an IG story you can — just be sure to include @wheretherebedragons on your story so we’ll get notified. If your account is set to private, you’ll need to re-follow us and then accept our request to follow you before posting the story (or else we’ll never see it, and that would be sad.)
