Description and Table of Contents
Description
In this work, the author describes the programme he developed called "Unseen America", which takes students out of the classroom and enables them to connect what they are learning with problems at community, national, and international levels. Filled with examples of students engaged in meaningful social change, the book offers pragmatic solutions with useful tools that are ready for implementation, designed at low cost within the constraints of existing resources by the students themselves.
