Ghana Sustainable Change is excited to announce to you our spring plan for 2015:
The program will hold its Spring Semester 2015 studio class this year to develop and continue work on projects for implementation in the Offinso North District of Ghana. The upcoming class will be a mixture of City and Regional Planning graduate and undergraduate students.
Due to a number of combined circumstances, the travel section of our program has been rescheduled to spring break 2016. Students involved in the 2015 studio class will be encouraged to join the spring 2016 trip to Ghana. They will also have the option to enroll in the 2016 spring studio class to continue work on their projects.
A new spring studio component in 2016 will allow students from other disciplines to join the class as an independent study or as an abbreviated workshop. This will allow interdisciplinary collaboration without constraining students outside of CRP to six credit hours of CRP credit. We believe this combination will be the best of all worlds: incentivizing interdisciplinary collaboration by being sensitive to the busy academic schedules of potential students, and ensuring a strong foundation of the program in City and Regional planning by formulating the class as a studio course for CRP students.
We have more announcements on the horizon, look for a winter newsletter near the first of the year!
Most importantly, we thank you for your interest, support, and participation in the Ghana Sustainable Change program and mission.
