Trent Study Abroad Program
Internationalization is an integral part of Trent's commitment to unite diversity through people and experience. It involves bringing the world to Trent and opening up amazing opportunities for international discovery.
Since 1984, Trent International has managed an active exchange program, maintaining long-standing study abroad opportunities with more than 58 Partners in 36 countries!
An international experience is comparable to none. The education, life skills, and unique experiences provide all our students with something that shapes their lives forever. Friendships are created that would never have had the opportunity to begin. Experiencing different cultures allow students to have exposure to other ways of life, learning, and socialization.
INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION WEEK (November 15 - 19th 2021)
IEW has been celebrated since 2000, showcasing the impact that international education has in preparing students for the world and supports international engagement efforts. It is a reflection of the spirit of cooperation and collaboration among various stakeholders across Canada to join forces to highlight the importance of international education. Activities undertaken by individuals, schools, colleges, universities, associations, businesses, governments, and nongovernmental organizations will help to strengthen the understanding of international education and its importance.
Study Abroad at Trent is celebrating IEW in many ways! Check out the various events that will be happening during the week:

Trent in Ghana Info Session

The Trent-in-Ghana (TIG) program enables undergraduates to deepen their understanding of international development by living and studying in the Global South. Students spend a full academic year in Ghana, from September until the end of April. TIG selects around 10- 15 students from Universities across Canada to join the program along with a number of Ghanaian students. A non-academic coordinator resident in Ghana supports the program.
The program is based in Cape Coast in the South and Tamale, in the Northern Region. Exposure to these various locations enables students to become familiar with the diverse cultures and regions of Ghana.

IEW Keynote Talk: Forced Migration, Citizenship and Migrant Solidarity Movements
Thursday, November 18th @ 7:00 - 8:00pm
Learn more about the current state of our global refugee crisis from IDST Faculty Dr. Feyzi Babin and Dr. Chris Beyers, along with some words from our Trent WUSC Student Refugee Program. Pre-registration required.
In recent years many states have implemented policies explicitly restricting the legal rights of refugees and introduced migration controls as a response to growing right-wing movements within their borders. Restrictions on international refugee laws and migration controls take many forms, some of which are designed to strip migrants of their legal rights. Simultaneously emerging along with these restrictions is citizen-led migrant solidarity movements. These movements have emerged in many states to challenge restrictive laws and policies and counter exclusionary and racist visions of right-wing movements. Tonight's talk will focus on these simultaneous developments in migration control policies and migrant solidarity movements by focusing on examples from Europe and Latin America.
