ISDSI is an educational institution dedicated to empowering local communities and centering the voices of the marginalized. Our study abroad programs educate American students about the key issues in ecology, culture, and sustainability through a close collaboration with local communities.

Founded in 1998 and recognized by the Institute of International Education as a ‘best practice’ program, ISDSI has educated over 600 students from more than 50 colleges and universities through immersive, community-based study abroad in Thailand.

ISDSI offers semester and summer study abroad programs in Thailand, including the Culture, Ecology, and Community semester, the Society and Culture of Thailand semester, and four summer programs in agroecology and entrepreneurship, elephant conservation, marine ecology, and internships.

We also have a long-term partnership with the University of Minnesota’s MSID Thailand program, and work with faculty on short-term study abroad experiences.
