Gap Year: How Delaying College Changes People in Ways the World Needs
Joseph O'Shea's "Gap Year: How Delaying College Changes People in Ways the World Needs" explores the educational impact of taking a year off between secondary school and higher education, primarily focusing on structured international volunteering programs. Through participant narratives and theoretical frameworks, the book examines how gap year experiences contribute to personal growth, changes in relationships, evolving perspectives on the world, and the development of civic-mindedness and cosmopolitanism. O'Shea argues that well-designed gap years can foster crucial skills and understandings often lacking in traditional education, ultimately shaping individuals into more effective and engaged global citizens.
