Earn a globally recognized qualification and transferrable university credit through CGCS’s Diploma in International Volunteering, which combines pre-trip learning, immersive volunteer work, and post-trip reflection. In Congjiang, Guizhou, students contribute directly to a 2,000-year-old “Rice-Fish-Duck” farming system—an FAO-recognized model of sustainable agriculture—while exploring Dong culture through UNESCO-listed choir traditions and artisan-led workshops. This comprehensive program blends cultural exchange, hands-on impact, and critical discussions on sustainability, empowering students to become globally aware changemakers.
