FLPA opportunities to Japan and India! | Faculty of Arts

Hi FOA! Please share two exciting experiential learning opportunities with your students!

Students may enroll in two exciting new Faculty of Arts Faculty-Led Programs Abroad (FLPA) for the Winter 2025 term! As part of the course requirement students and faculty will spend two weeks abroad in either Japan or India getting a first-hand look at subjects explored in the classroom.

FLPA to Japan

This Faculty-Led Program Abroad to Japan: Cross-cultural Communications allows Seneca students to develop cross-cultural communications skills, see how rich history blends seamlessly with new technology, and reflect on intercultural communications practice in Canada.

Diploma and Advanced Diploma students will be eligible to apply for this opportunity. Students will have a two-week learning experience in Tokyo, Japan. 

The two weeks in Japan will serve as a hands-on educational component for the course Cross-Cultural Communications (CUL286), designed to complement theoretical and conceptual learning in the classroom.

Delivered in partnership with Absolute Internship, CUL286 is led by Seneca professors.

Packed with field visits, weekend activities, and traditional cultural experiences, participating students will be immersed in Japanese culture while earning academic credit for your program at Seneca. (See below for course credit information.)

Learn more about the opportunity and apply by Sept. 22. 

FLPA to India

This Faculty-Led Program Abroad: Discovering India allows Seneca students to develop cross-cultural skills, discover a rich history, and also reflect on intercultural communications practice in Canada.

This program is available for diploma, advanced diploma, and degree students! Depending on your academic program, students accepted into this FLPA will be automatically enrolled in one of the following courses in the Winter 2025 semester:

• CUL 133 (India: From Maharajas to Gandhi) - for diploma and advanced diploma students
• LSO 333 (India: From Taj Mahal to Gandhi) - for degree students

The two weeks in India will serve as a hands-on educational component to each of these courses, designed to complement learning in the classroom.

Packed with historical and cultural site visits and weekend activities including the Taj Mahal, in addition to course delivery, students will be immersed in Indian culture while earning academic credit towards your program at Seneca (see below for course information).
