International Sustainable Development Studies Institute (ISDSI), based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, is an educational institution offering experiential study abroad programs for students currently enrolled at universities and colleges in the United States. ISDSI's semester-long programs immerse students in the cultures of Thailand by taking participants out of the traditional classroom and into the expedition field. During each course, students go on multi-day expeditions to various regions of Thailand and experience first-hand the cultures and ecologies of the country. Courses are hands-on while teaching students about sustainable development and its relationship to local communities. Participants also spend the majority of time living in homestays and with locals.
Taking an approach to education that entails hands-on learning, cultural immersion and local engagement, has led to ISDSI's education model being the topic of journal articles and conference seminars.
Sending Schools include: Yale University, University of California, Berkeley, Cornell University, Kalamazoo College, Calvin College and Wheaton College.
