Abstract

Tanzania Reflection Video by: Olivia Masso

This winter I had the opportunity to travel with Professor Ng’weshemi and 27 other students to Tanzania, Africa. This trip was for a J-term trip offered at Carthage entitled, “Experience Tanzania: Religion, Society and Culture.” After we returned from the trip, I created this video as a collection of the amazing memories I had made studying abroad. I originally made this video as a way to show my friends and family the highlights of my trip. However, when I received information about the Global Heritage scholarship competition from Professor Ng’weshemi, I thought that my video would be a good submission. My Tanzania reflection video shows an alternative to the typical Global Heritage classroom experience. It instead represents the advantages of J-term study abroad trips at Carthage. My trip to Tanzania was a mix of educational opportunities, meeting new people, being immersed in culture and of course fun memories. I was fortunate to win the third place prize for the Global Heritage scholarship competition.
