The d.a.i. explains: The Peace Corps: A Personal Account of Social Service and Intercultural Exchange

Mit Colleen Dockery

Have you heard about the Peace Corps? This presentation aims to address the merit of social service programs paired with cultural exchange. It will focus on the organization itself, including information about its origin and goals and the implications of a program such as the Peace Corps of promoting cultural tolerance and openness for an “intercultural society”. Colleen Dockery herself has served in the Peace Corps from 1998–2000 in Mali, West Africa.
