DAGO365 · LEARNING & EXCHANGE
Learn with Dago, not just about Dago
Dago365 connects visitors and institutions with community members who are experts on their own priorities. Learning is reciprocal, activities are developed with local leadership, and each visit is shaped by what can responsibly be hosted.

Who may participate?
Volunteers are welcome to inquire. Dago365 is also a route for ethical, skills-based volunteer participation and service-learning—not only observation or tourism. Activities are agreed with local hosts and project owners, and roles involving children, health services or technical work have additional approval and qualification requirements.

Universities and supervised educational groups, professionals and researchers, community and faith organizations, diaspora visitors, families and individuals may begin a conversation about a visit. The standard group size is 10–12 participants per departure; groups larger than 12 are welcome to inquire about separate arrangements. Participant age, supervision and activities depend on the confirmed itinerary. An inquiry or payment alone never guarantees placement.
Community-approved learning
Education, youth and health
Learn with educators and community leaders about education pathways, historical sports engagement and community-health work, or explore appropriate professional exchange. School visits, child contact and health-related activities require permission, safeguarding arrangements, any necessary qualifications and appropriate supervision.
Agriculture, livelihoods and dignity
Explore farming, nutrition, environmental stewardship, enterprise, women’s economic participation and community infrastructure through visits agreed with the people responsible for each activity. One Way Out-led Threads of Hope, sponsorship programs and other partner-led work may be visited only with the partner’s express agreement.
A longer history of global learning
Dago’s exchange history includes Peace Corps and Village Volunteers relationships and distinct university and campus-linked engagements. Toronto Metropolitan University/Ryerson student initiatives, a Rollins College field study, UNC-Chapel Hill-linked Harambee activity and University of Evansville campus groups form part of this historical learning lineage. These are precursor relationships and visits, not current institutional contracts or completed 2027 Dago365 cohorts.
How a learning visit takes shape
Visiting groups share their learning goals, participant profile, approximate dates, areas of interest and skills. Friends of Dago consults Dago Dala Hera, local hosts and relevant independent program leaders about what is suitable. Where feasible, the parties agree a scope, orientation, safeguarding approach and written visit offer. There are no guaranteed school placements, unsupervised child-contact opportunities, or unqualified clinical assignments.
