ASAPI encourages the ongoing development of professional standards at all levels of study abroad in Ireland.
ASAPI workshops provide vital information and training, an opportunity to share experience and knowledge, and an essential space for the members of our community to support each other.
Past workshops include:
In addition to the significant economic impact Study Abroad has on local communities, it can also serve to form a meaningful connection with the community. Community Engagement and Service-Learning have become important components to many educational programmes in recent years, as they promote a deeper learning experience for students along with benefits to the communities in which they serve.
We will hear from three Study Abroad providers- Duquesne University, University of Notre Dame, and Champlain College- about the positive Community Engagment they have developed and the impact it has had thus far on their students and their communities. There will also be time after each presentation for questions and open discussion on what other types of engagement opportunities might be possible in Dublin and beyond.
This presentation will outline GDPR specifically as it applies to US institutions operating within the EU.
ASAPI is partnering with the Embassy of the United States of America to hold an Emergency Services Workshop on Thursday, 27 April from 4-6 pm. Space is strictly limited and invitations and the guest list are managed by the Embassy. If you are interested in attending the workshop, please email info@asapireland.org.
The workshop will allow members of the study abroad community to discuss a range mental health topics as they relate to study abroad students in Ireland.
How can study abroad professionals bring our perspective - which particularly values the opportunities presented by discomfort, ambiguity, and struggle in developing intercultural skills - to helping today’s young adults develop the resilience and independence that past generations were given the opportunity to learn at a much younger age?
