AUA Special Google
Hangout - Pink Pangea Travel Writing Workshop
Join us Thursday, March 6 at 12pm EST for this Special Information Session
Ever
wondered what makes a great travel writer? Curious about the AUA Summer Service Internship
program?
In a
special Google Hangout with Pink Pangea Editor,
Rachel Sales we'll read compelling pieces by prolific travel writers and
learn how to make our own experiences come to life on paper. We'll
also discuss how to relay our insights while maintaining cultural
sensitivities; how to use voice and tone to effectively convey experiences;
and how to exercise objectivity and subjectivity with finesse. Here are
samples of some of the writings we'll be reviewing.
There
are limited spaces available for this AUA event. Please RSVP to stefanc@creativelearning.org before 5 pm on March 4 to receive instructions on
how to access the webinar.
Pink Pangea is an online
magazine and forum founded by two women passionate about writing and
travel, who took notice of the limited resources out
there specifically for female travelers. Their goal has been to
create an online community for women who travel or who want to travel, with
honest support, advice, and insight from other women. Visitors to Pink
Pangea's website can search by destination, topic, or nature of travel (study
abroad, volunteer, vacation, etc.) to find information written by
fellow women travelers who have been there and done that before.
You can also share your own travel stories to be a resource for others. The
site is a fantastic and unique resource, one that some of our Unofficial
Ambassadors have contributed to during their service abroad. You can read
contributions by AUA alums, Emma and Katerina, below:
The America's Unofficial Ambassadors
Summer Service Internship Program places
volunteers with schools or grassroots in NGOs in Indonesia, Morocco,
Tajikistan or Tanzania.
Unofficial Ambassadors build relations between America and
the Muslim World by interning full-time with a school or grassroots
organization in the Muslim World for 6 weeks. In the process, volunteers gain
hands-on professional experience, learn local languages, and can earn
academic credit from their university.
To get an inside look at last year's summer program, visit our blog for first-hand
stories of our unofficial ambassadors in action. Or visit our
website at www.unofficialambassadors.org.
