InterAction Nepal is an immersive, interdisciplinary study abroad program offered with the support of the UW Department of Landscape Architecture and the Nepal Studies Initiative. The program challenges students to delve into contemporary issues surrounding urban development in the Kathmandu Valley and respond to them at a local scale through community-based participatory design, project implementation and assessment. UW students work with local students and residents of an underserved community to design and construct a small-scale intervention in community infrastructure and evaluate project impacts on human and environmental health. They also have the opportunity to pursue their own research interests through independent study.
Program activities include lectures and discussions, organizational site visits, field trips within and outside the Kathmandu Valley, community meetings/workshops and hands-on design and construction. InterAction Nepal's partners include community members, municipal representatives, non-profit organizations, social enterprises and academic institutions.
