Abstract

As an introductory activity for this education abroad course on global citizenship, students will work in small groups of 3 or 4 with local partners (Jambi students and faculty) to explore the relationship between cultural places and the environment of Jambi by creating cultural maps of the districts of Jambi. This classroom activity aims to prepare students for their community service and site visits in Jambi. They will learn about the local geography, acquire knowledge of the diverse cultural environment, and gain an understanding about specific sites of environmental concern in this mid-size city in central Sumatra. The activity will help to develop student to practice research skills, express their creativity, and foster collaboration. It will also provide an opportunity for discussing global citizenship, community values, and local engagement.
