During this winter session Experiential Global Learning program, students will consider intersections of human rights, and migration in Central America, with a primary focus on Costa Rica. Students will also study Spanish and be involved in a range of excursions that will complement and enhance their coursework.

Course ideas will be explored through discussion with guest speakers and field trips. Students do not have to have any background in Human Rights, Spanish or Latin American Studies to participate in the program; although it is certainly helpful.

Field trips may include the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, downtown San Jose, the migrant community of La Carpio, Tenorio Volcano, the National Theater, and Guaitil ceramics.

The program will be housed at the Intercultura Spanish Language School, and alternates between its two campuses, one in Heredia and one at Samara Beach.

This Experiential Global Learning program can be counted toward 3 credits of upper division major or minor requirements for Human Rights; up to 6 credits for Latin American Studies; or as related courses for Spanish.
