PRM 322 - International Adventure Travel & Global Citizenship

While “global citizenship” is a term that is utilized in a variety of contexts, its meaning is rarely defined. In this course, students will explore what it means to be a citizen, what it means to be a global citizen, and where international adventure travel comes into play in regard to “global citizenship.” In particular, students will explore ethical dilemmas in international adventure travel and will learn how to research and identify both positive and negative environmental, socio-cultural, and economic impacts of tourism on the destination (various cultures). Students will explore such topics as technology and adventure travel, the commercialization of adventure travel, environmental impacts of adventure travel, social/cultural impacts of adventure travel. Students will explore world cultures and learn how to travel as a global citizen in order to lessen impacts and work toward justice in their travel experiences (Liberal Studies P6).
