Course Description:

'' New York City’s diversity and the richness of its human and physical resources provide unparalleled opportunities for learning and adventure. On New York City Outward Bound urban explorations, students travel New York’s streets and neighborhoods and discover firsthand the social and economic forces that shape our city. They offer students opportunities to see and experience neighborhoods of the City and aspects of life in the City that are outside of their everyday routines. For example, students eat in ethnic restaurants and sleep on a boat at South Street Seaport or at a local community center. They conduct interviews on the streets of neighborhoods such as Chinatown and the Lower East Side and visit cultural institutions there. And they engage in service projects, such as teaching English in Flushing, or participating in a tree-planting project. These explorations can be designed to focus on a particular theme, such as ethnic diversity or community leadership. They can also be used to enhance academic skills such as literacy-for example, students may be asked to write poetry about their experiences while they are having them, spend evenings revising their work and on the last day participate in a poetry slam sharing their work publicly.
