SIT Study Abroad: Jordan: Refugees, Health, and Humanitarian Action

Witness the massive humanitarian response to the regional refugee crisis, with a focus on refugee health. Understand the impact of refugees in Europe during an excursion to Switzerland.

WHY STUDY ABROAD IN JORDAN?
Get a firsthand look at humanitarian action in Jordan and Switzerland. Jordan provides a unique opportunity to explore humanitarian response in various sectors including health, protection, food and Water and sanitation. In Amman, you’ll learn about protection status and policies and health and psychosocial interventions to improve the well-being of displaced populations. In Geneva, a hub for UN agencies and international aid organizations, you will explore the international humanitarian architecture and global coordination mechanism, as well as contrasting integration and identity challenges of asylum seekers in Jordan and Switzerland.

QUOTE
"I really enjoyed my stay in Jordan. The program director and assistants were very supportive and responsive. I really like the field visits to the refugee camp and numerous humanitarian local NGOs in Jordan and Turkey. Those field visits allowed me to learn a lot about working in the humanitarian aid field. I would choose the program again also because it enabled me to do one-month internship at a local NGO."
