FLCA 2024-25

FLCA-Italy: Architectural Technology

#DCinRome – Architecture Tour

For centuries Rome was thought to be the source from which culture, law, art and technology emanated. The Romans laid down the foundations of architecture that would influence design throughout Europe and some of the rest of the world. Many of these innovations are studied to this day and continue to influence and inspire further developments in art and technology. Students will tour historic Roman sites with guides and learn how these places have influenced – and continue to influence – architecture in design and technology.

FLCA-Costa Rica: Behavioural Sciences

Home and Away

While Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) is widely used across North America, it is not as commonly used within Central America. Students will visit schools, special education centers and health care facilities in Costa Rica to gain insight into the teaching methods and types of therapy used within a broader global context. Through travel to three communities, students will also explore the differences in resources available in urban versus rural areas and the impact that may have on the services provided.

This program is generously funded by Global Skills Opportunity, the Government of Canada’s Outbound Student Mobility Pilot Program. While international students are welcome to apply, the Government of Canada funding is limited to Canadian citizens and permanent residents.

FLCA-COSTA RICA: DENTAL HYGIENE

HOME AND AWAY – COSTA RICA GLOBAL LEARNING PROGRAM

Dentistry is a valued profession in Costa Rica where local primary health care teams visit households annually to ensure the health of its citizens. However, not everyone is treated thee same. Marginalized groups have challenges accessing this care. During this FLCA experience, students will be able to see and experience these challenges and, hopefully, be able to make an impact on these population groups.

FLCA-Denmark: Strengthening Student Advocacy for Elder Care Excellence

Denmark is at the forefront of dementia care, pioneering innovative housing solutions and cutting-edge technology that empower seniors to live safely and with dignity. By embracing these advancements, Denmark not only enhances the quality of life for its elderly population but also significantly reduces healthcare costs. This project sees 10 students from the Personal Support Worker, Journalism, and Video Production programs join forces to explore Denmark’s novel approach to dementia care by immersing themselves in the Danish model to enhance their classroom learning. PSW students will meet and hear from seniors, healthcare professionals, and technology leaders, while Journalism and Video Production students capture compelling stories, photos, and videos to share back home. Together, they will bring back invaluable insights and inspire new ways to support seniors living with dementia in Ontario.

In supporting Cat’s International Sports (CIS), students will be presented with a business challenge that CIS is facing and will volunteer as part of the Global Organic Tourism Master Plan tournament (a tournament that has a variety of sports, both water and land based for international teams in the Caribbean), that they are partnering with. By volunteering at the event, students will get a perspective of how the event is currently marketed, executed and run and will be able to develop recommendations for next year’s event. Students will research the current situation, develop recommendations, and present results to the executives. This program includes cultural visits, volunteering at an international sport event, and consulting and analysis for a sport business.
