Program Summary:
Working closely with the Austro-Amerikan Institute of Education (AAIE), Health Education in Vienna will offer classes and excursions dealing with both international as well as mental health in the foreign country. Through the AAIE, students will have a host family and a school to call their own during their stay in Austria. The AAIE will provide a classroom for our use daily. Excursions will include, but not be limited to Viktor Frankl’s house, Frued’s house, UNICEF, United Nations, World Health Organization, hospitals, clinics, wellness systems, and the local university.
During the excursions, students will learn about health systems in Austria and how they are similar/different than the United States. Moreover, each student will get to experience both international and mental health events throughout the country and neighboring countries. Lastly, the education abroad will culminate in a 2-3 day excursion to the Austrian Alps where students will experience first hand the benefits of leisure to the European nations.
