InterAction | Nepal | Participatory Public Health is an immersive, interdisciplinary study abroad program offered with the support of the UW Public Health-Global Health Major and UW Nepal Studies Initiative. It is open to undergraduate students from any discipline.
The program challenges students to delve into contemporary issues in public health in Nepal and respond to them at a local scale. UW students work with students from Kathmandu University and residents of a Nepali community to plan, implement and evaluate projects related to public health. They can also pursue their own research interests through independent study.
The program is based in the Kathmandu Valley and Dhulikhel / Kavre District. Program activities include lectures and discussions, language instruction, organizational site visits, community workshops, hands-on project implementation and extended excursions (trekking + rafting).
