Build new learning experiences with global partners.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Bootcamps are an opportunity for Health faculty members<\/strong> to participate in a structured short-term visit, where they meet and build relationships with global partners and explore ways to develop new international experiential education courses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following each bootcamp, faculty members apply their experience towards benefiting student learning through a proposal for course adaptation, a new course design, globally networked learning plan, or identifiable joint projects with international partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faculty Bootcamp: Experiencing Las Nubes as Learners<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In February 2026, Dr. Maxwell Barranti and Dr. Christine Till experienced York's Las Nubes EcoCampus as students, not instructors. Over five days, they joined courses in Environmental Psychology and Ecological Health, comparing industrial and sustainable farms, visiting sites of historical relevance, a coral restoration lab, and learning from traditional healers in the indigenous Boruca community. Visits with Costa Rican universities and researchers revealed collaboration opportunities in psychology and nursing education. They returned equipped with concrete ideas, community contacts, and a deep understanding of Las Nubes' unique educational landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
