After Mobility - Reverse Culture Shock
About the Course
Recognize the symptoms of reverse culture shock, and use the technique of storytelling to help manage a successful re entry.
Often students expect to be able to pick up exactly where they left off. A problem arises when reality doesn't meet these expectations. Home may fall short of what you had envisioned, and things may have changed at home. This is part of why returning home may feel so foreign. The Heroes Journey narrative will help students understand how to capitalise their study abroad experience, translate their newly acquired skills and knowledge onto their resume and help with academic and social re-integration.
