Culturally Challenging

At The Travel Source we strive to prepare students for the challenge of cross-cultural encounter through introductory language learning and culture instruction. From women’s dress and community etiquette to eating customs and expressions of friendship, students are taught how to bridge well the cultural gap. Local language schools offer a variety of courses which can be adapted to fit program schedules and objectives. Home stays with Moroccan families provide opportunities for students to participate first-hand in traditional family life and roles. Everyday is focused on students getting out into the community, experiencing real Moroccan life, and then processing with English-speaking nationals what they have learned.
