International Opportunities

Through "Right to Play" and "Free the Children" as well as existing internships programs managed by York International, there are already opportunities for Children's Studies majors and minors to undertake child-related work abroad. Further opportunities for international exchanges, partnerships with various institutions for study around the world, and virtual international experiences are being vigorously explored. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is central to the Program, which is international in philosophy, methodology, and course content such that children and childhood will be approached as international agenda of concern.

In addition, York’s Children’s Studies Program has partnered with the National University of Ireland in Galway to create an exchange program which, in 2010-2011 (its 1st year), will involve two Irish students coming to York for a semester of study and two York students going to Galway for a semester. Future International exchanges are planned.

For information regarding this exchange opportunity please contact the CHST Program Coordinator/Academic Advisor at 416-736-2100 ext. 60498 or cummingp@yorku.ca.
