“The trip was an incredible personal, professional, and social experience for me. Building relationships with the clients had such an emotional impact on me, and I know they also benefitted from telling their stories. Seeing and learning about a new country, interacting with local people, and spending a week with an inquisitive, fun group of students made for a week I will never forget.”

Audrey Gould2016 Tufts GET Trip Participant

“The GET Experience has been the most whole rounded learning experience I’ve had thus far. As I learned, economic development is not limited to the technicalities of the theory or the formal sector. It involves so many other informal and subjective factors like family relations, culture, migration, race, and exposure to education. In this trip, I learned from both the suppliers and recipients of loans and their respective experiences.”

“The “GET” experience is extraordinary to say the least! The program has the perfect balance of education and engagement through cultural immersion. Whether you are a seasoned traveler or if it is your first trip away from home, you will feel comfortable and safe to explore the possibilities and opportunities available. This is the epitome of experiential learning!”
