Because Tilting Futures’ programming exists in foreign country contexts, and can often be in remote areas of the world, health, safety and security risks are an unavoidable part of life for Take Action Lab students. Thus, Student well-being (i.e. safety, health, and security) is a top priority, and Tilting Futures devotes resources and training to minimize risks to students.We also emphasize to students, parents/families, and staff that students must take personal responsibility for their own health, safety and security. Student personal responsibility and self-care is emphasized throughout the program and is expected due to the program design.Student responsibility is expected beginning with pre-departure preparations and throughout the students’ in-country immersion experience. It is essential for students to practice common sense, situational awareness, and sound decision-making and judgment.
