Create. Learn. Engage.
Innovative community building where all or the whole is
fully embraced.
Retreats
SOMOS is excited and thrilled to offer Exploratory Retreats.
However, please keep in mind the following three points:
-
These retreats are designed for individuals representing schools, colleges, universities, community groups, art councils, clubs etc. who are interested in developing international partnerships, cultural exchanges and/or community initiatives that address real world, local issues through innovative community building projects and community-based learning.
-
At the same time, this process is selective and we anticipate the sessions to fill quickly. If you are interested, please apply now.
-
And finally, we want to tailor this partnership to address and meet the specific educational, cultural, community and financial needs of your institution — allowing you to utilize this opportunity to develop a project plan where collectively, we strive to foster vibrant, inclusive and sustainable communities.
