Converge Course Enculturation Overview

This video marks the beginning of the Enculturation Phase of a Converge Internship. In addition to introductions to the leadership and staff, you will be introduced to the community so you can become familiarity with the local area. As soon as possible, and only if appropriate, you should learn to use public transportation, and find local services (such as ATM and bank, shopping, and medical facilities). The Enculturation phase is just a few days, so use them to settle into your new surroundings, acclimate to the new setting, and time zone (if applicable). But remember, the primary purpose of Enculturation is for you to meet with people. Get better acquainted with your host, with any other supervisors, and try to understand the vision, history, and current status of the program or project with which you will work during your internship. Okay, are you ready? Let’s go!
