From the website: "Beyond Abroad: Innovative Re-entry Exercises is a practical tool created by a group of interculturalists, travelers, and educators. Those who contributed to this tool understood that re-entry can be intense, draining, confusing, difficult, and an incredible opportunity to reflect, grow, and jumpstart a new chapter. Re-entry is an important process that should lead to action.

"Many organizations struggle with how to approach re-entry with their returned students and faculty, often due to a lack of time for planning.  We addressed this by creating 14 innovative re-entry exercises that will facilitate re-entry dialogue and action on your campus and in your community  – and YOU select which ones to administer based on your group and needs.  Each exercise...includes a description of the exercise, preparation steps, set up/materials required,  facilitation questions and BeeU ideas for modifying each exercise to enhance creativity. They range from 1 -3 bees (effort required) to coordinate.  We  do offer recommendations on how to pair them.

"Our approach was not to research what is currently done around re-entry, but rather to use our creativity to develop truly unique exercises that could be appropriate for a one time gathering or a re-entry course.  We also attempted to not be “US centric” in our approach so that educators outside the USA will find value in this tool, too."
