Learn & Serve in Tunisia is a unique summer education abroad opportunity for undergraduate students to study in the Middle East/North Africa region and engage in an intense service learning experience with Tunisian university students. The program, which is run with support from the Public Affairs Section of the American Embassy in Tunis, includes a study component on Tunisian culture and society, a service learning component as native speaker resource persons in an English immersion program for Tunisian university students, and intense and sustained interaction with Tunisian university students.

In response to a request from the Tunisian Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research & Technology, AMIDEAST/Tunisia, with assistance from the Public Affairs Section of the American Embassy in Tunis, began the Learn & Serve Program in 2007 to provide American university students for the English Language Village (Language Village - Nabeul – LVN). At LVN, English majors from Tunisian universities develop their speaking abilities in an intensive two-week program. During the two LVN sessions Tunisian English professors work with their students together with former Fulbright Language Teaching Assistants (Language Guides) and native English-speaking students from the U.S. and the U.K., who are known as Language & Cultural Fellows.
