time to explore on their own can be a key aspect of developing thesecompetencies. Beyond the travel component, we consider the academic aspect of these types ofprograms (i.e., courses associated with it) and also intentionally design learning activities thatallow students to obtain complementary learning gains to what they are experiencing by the factof being abroad. Including self-reflection as part of the assignments have proven to help withawareness.References[1] B. K. Jesiek, Q. Zhu, S. E. Woo, J. Thompson, and A.

Based on these issues, Hofstede [9] labeled his dimensionsof culture as power distance (from small to large), individualism (versus collectivism),uncertainty avoidance (from weak to strong), and masculinity (versus femininity). Despite laterdeveloping more dimensions, for the purpose of this study we are focusing on the original ones: ● Power Distance addresses the extent
