Programa detallado

This program offers a unique opportunity for undergraduate, master’s, and PhD students to engage directly with cultural researchers in Bali and Lombok, Indonesia. Participants will explore the intricate ways in which Indonesian socio-cultural values influence the governance and development of sustainable tourism. By joining the research project, “The Cultural Logic of Governance,” volunteers will play an active role in advancing our understanding of local cultural dynamics and their impact on tourism management. Responsibilities include assisting with field data collection, distributing and analyzing questionnaires, and observing cultural practices in settings such as villages, tourism hubs, and community meetings.

Volunteers will live with local families, immersing themselves in the rhythms of daily Balinese and Sasak life. This experience provides a rare opportunity to witness firsthand how principles such as collectivism, hierarchical social structures, and conflict avoidance shape interpersonal interactions, decision-making processes, and community governance. Through this close engagement, participants will not only gain deep cultural insights but also contribute meaningfully to academic research aimed at developing culturally intelligent and sustainable approaches to tourism planning and governance.

By the end of the program, volunteers will emerge with a richer understanding of how culture informs governance, enhanced cross-cultural communication skills, and a tangible contribution to the development of sustainable tourism strategies that are both effective and culturally sensitive. This immersive experience is ideal for students interested in anthropology, sociology, tourism studies, and development research who wish to combine fieldwork with applied research.
