The notion of international, high-impact experiences enhancing a learners’ cultural competency, improving personal confidence and increasing respect for others is well researched and indicates the importance of such experiences in an increasingly globalized and interconnected world. Equally-documented is the concept of reflection, and how vital it is within the learning process.; from this, it is recognized that intentional and systematic reflection is needed to maximize the retention of what individuals may learn from these experiences, and transfer concepts to future contexts. In a situation as unique, challenging, and impactful as an international experience, how can we engage learners in reflection to ensure their personal outcomes are as deep, meaningful, and impactful as possible? In a low-resource environment, an interdisciplinary team utilized these two novel methods of reflection for participants to ground their learning experience: TIPS journalizing and Photovoice. Photovoice, traditionally a research method, makes for an impactful reflection opportunity where participants not only photograph, explain, and reflect on their own experiences, but view, hear, and discuss one-anothers’. Particularly, during international experiences, photovoice proved powerful as an opportunity for group reflection and shared dialogue. Designed by Anu Tatanath specifically for international experiences, TIPS journaling is a style of reflection wherein participants write, daily, over the topics: Things, Ideas, People, and Self. The approach encourages self-reflection on the profound inquiries about identity, society, and the essence of travel that arise when transitioning from one context to another. Building on previous experiences of utilizing these methods under similar circumstances, leadership led American teachers through TIPS personal daily reflection, and a group photovoice at the end of a month-long immersive experience in Uganda. Through the use of these techniques, we gained insight on their benefits, challenges, and recommendations for improvement on future use and varied application.
