What type of activities are considered part of the immersion process?

The immersion process is designed to engage individuals in meaningful experiences that promote growth, empathy, and understanding of different communities. Volunteering and service-oriented tasks are integral to this process as they actively involve participants in real-life situations where they can contribute positively to the community. These activities not only allow participants to apply theoretical knowledge in practical environments but also foster a sense of social responsibility and civic engagement.

Through volunteering, individuals encounter diverse perspectives and issues, which can lead to personal development and a deeper appreciation of social realities. This hands-on engagement is essential for cultivating the values of service and active citizenship that the immersion process aims to instill.

In contrast, sporting events, informal academic discussions, and online learning modules do not provide the same level of interaction with communities or direct involvement in societal issues, making them less relevant to the immersion experience.
