It's a lot, we need your help!
INTERNATIONAL STUDENT PROGRAM
GAIN FRONTLINE FOREST CONSERVATION EXPERIENCE & UNIVERSITY CREDITS AT THE SAME TIME
Through our International Student Program, CS gives Students from around the globe the opportunity to develop their skills, knowledge, and enthusiasm regarding sustainable development in their field of science. While working hard on their thesis or internship Students are contributing to our Mission to conserve the Philippines' last remaining 3% of pristine rainforest through legal establishment of protected areas. We achieve this by providing the students with the means for a thesis, internship or a voluntary position in one of the projects of our organisation, or other local organisations and government agencies.
We started this program to form a bridge between the theoretical knowledge of science across the globe with the vast traditional and cultural knowhow of Filipino culture. Students work in paired teams, a local student with an international student, thereby maximizing the transfer of knowledge and increasing the potential success of the joint project.
Students will carry out their project in Palawan.
