| Abstract
|
:
|
This dissertation offers an integrative qualitative study about learning and long-term impacts within a multi-cultural and experiential immersion program. Connecting Cultures (CC), based in Oman, strives to promote changes in perspectives and educate a new generation of culturally sensitive and knowledgeable citizens through intercultural dialogue between young people, ages 18 to 25, from across Europe and the Arab world. This study is designed to consider various impacts of Connecting Cultures within lenses of cultural understanding and transformative learning, and reflects on how mutual respect and understanding promotes participants’ future actions. Turner’s (1995) concepts of communitas and liminality are utilized in order to broaden the scope of considering characteristic outcomes that take place during outdoor adventure experiences.
