Save to Favorites

Go to Belize and Guatemala, to help train firefighters and EMS workers with our Emergency Services Team. March 11th-18th, 2018

4 THE WORLD’s Global Firefighter Training Excursion takes first responders On Location to communities in rural Belize and Guatemala. Firefighters and EMS team members experience life in the developing world and learn the history, culture, and contemporary issues of our Central American neighbors.

4 THE WORLD’s global learning model is LISTEN, LEARN, ACT. Team members will consider issues of importance in Belize and Guatemala by listening to firefighters, EMS, Police, and community leaders in-country. Team members will then identify a pressing problem to investigate and learn about the issue from diverse perspectives. After assessing the possible solutions, the team will facilitate collaboration for first responders in the US, Belize, and Guatemala to take action and implement a solution. The process then starts over, as the teams listen to those affected and assess the solution, identifying strengths and weaknesses and learning from the experience in order to improve the world one project at a time.

Our Emergency Services team members not only train other firefighters and EMS workers, they learn from them. The cross-cultural collaboration integrates problem solving with global learning in an authentic way.

First responders develop relationships that will last a lifetime. These relationships are mutually beneficial, for the Bomberos in Central America, for the first responders in the U.S. and for the Emergency Services Excursion Team.
