Tanzania and Zanzibar: Indigenous Communities

Clayton WaltonInstructor

Clayton L. Walton has spent the last 19 years designing student development initiatives that challenge participants to intentionally engage their college experience. As the Executive Director of Globally Engaged Experiential Learning and Assistant Professor in the School of Public Affairs and Administration, Clayton promotes a holistic student development philosophy that informs the design and implementation of his coursework, study away programs and co-curricular initiatives.

Based in Tanzania and Zanzibar, this partnership with the Massailand communities, Korona School District, Zanzibar University, and ILE nonprofit, prepares students to understand the challenges of creating social change in culturally complex communities. While engaging concepts of sustainable living, community leadership, and cultural competency, teams will collaborate with indigenous communities in a series of cultural immersion and sustainable living projects.
