We create a rich environment for students by providing information, learning tools and experiences that allow them to develop their skills as lifelong cross-cultural learners. In addition, ACI organizes and facilitates family home stays, academic courses and thematic lectures, workshops, field trips, orientation tours, and a variety of cultural activities, and special events. Finally, in response to the growing demand for service learning activities and programs, the Baobab Center has prepared a list of short term volunteer opportunities in and around Dakar. The team has also drawn on its extensive network of contacts to develop longer community based internship programs across the country.
