SIT Study Abroad Jordan: Refugees, Health, and Humanitarian Action

Witness the massive humanitarian response to the regional refugee crisis, with a focus on refugee health. Understand the impact of refugees in Europe during an excursion to Turkey.

WHY STUDY HUMANITARIAN ACTION IN JORDAN?
Get a firsthand look at humanitarian emergency action in Jordan and Turkey, two countries critical to the response to the current refugee crisis. This is a unique opportunity to view the policies and priorities of UN agencies, international relief organizations, and Jordan’s government. In Amman, you’ll learn about the political and cultural factors behind the influx of refugees to Jordan, which continues to receive waves of refugees displaced by regional conflicts. You will also travel to Istanbul to learn from experts at health and humanitarian agencies.
