Transference 💫⁠
⁠
Our Fall 2024 Gap Year students are wrapping up their 3-month journey and are returning home tomorrow. Over the last few days, groups have reflected on their time together during what we call ✨️transference✨️. ⁠
⁠
🔎 Transference is a time for students to sink into what they experienced on a personal, group, and global level. They discuss challenges they overcame, cultural traditions, reverse culture shock, personal growth, what learnings they hope to carry with them into the future, and overall, space to celebrate their incredible time. ⁠
⁠
Wishing all our students a smooth and safe travel adventures home. We look forward to hearing your stories! 💚 🐉⁠
⁠
Be sure to check out the Yak Board for reflections as programs come to a close!⁠

That feeling you get when trying something new: 😃⁠
⁠
All Dragons programs offer an Independent Study Project (ISP) which is an opportunity to try something you're already passionate about or perhaps a skill you want to learn in the region you're traveling in! 🌎️⁠
⁠
Whether it's pottery, traditional dance, local storytelling, or martial arts, we have paired students with the best mentors for a meaningful experience. ⁠

Reflection Space ✨️⁠
How is food a means of connection for you? Or, is it at all? ⁠
Do certain meals remind you of specific feelings or stories?⁠
How are food and traditions interconnected for you?⁠
What is a story that comes to mind that includes the combination of traveling and food?⁠
⁠
Take some time 🍃offline🍃 to reflect on a comforting memory or story that came to mind!⁠
