World Affairs in Theory and Practice: The REPS Office of the U.S. Embassy's Public Affairs Section seeks proposals for a program entitled “World Affairs in Theory and Practice.” Implemented at the New Delhi American Center (NDAC), this competitive program will draw from a target audience of high-achieving undergraduate-level students connected to academic programs in the fields of international affairs, sustainable development, human rights, health policy business, and related disciplines. Participants will complete one of three MOOCs (Massive, Open, Online Courses) on themes of global health, environmental security, and international trade offered by American universities and expertly facilitated at the NDAC. Courses will meet weekly and will last 4-6 weeks, depending on the format of each MOOC selected for the series. Following the completion of each MOOC course, participants will participate in a live simulation of diplomatic negotiations around a similar theme as their course, helping them understand complex issues in theory and practice. Finally, participants will be introduced to EducationUSA advisors from the U.S. India Educational Foundation (USIEF) for counseling on options for pursuing higher education in the United States. For each course, the grantee will: · Select the most compelling/relevant MOOC courses on global health, environmental security, and international trade on offer from American universities, as well as the related diplomacy simulations, offered by the U.S. Department of State's Diplomacy Center and other sources. · Develop and execute an application process to recruit 90 high-performing undergraduate youth leaders. The grantee shall divide the youth leaders into 3 cohorts of 30 participants, with each cohort taking a separate thematic MOOC course. · Recruit a local facilitator for each course/simulation who is an expert in the topic, whether as an academic or a practitioner. Additionally, the grantee shall work closely with the REPS Office to identify officers within the Mission who could be invited to participate in select MOOC and simulation sessions around their areas of expertise. Collaborate with the REPS Office to schedule a customized educational advising session with USIEF for each course. (Please refer to the full announcement available under related documents tab.)
