Journey to Nicaragua immediately following Spring semester on a three-week immersion experience. Students explore the political and justice issues of this Central American country through this program. Meet leaders who work for justice and peace and offer their perspectives on the history and reality of Nicaragua and its connections with the USA. The experience may include homestays, service with Seeds of Learning, and presentations by local experts on topics such as foreign policy, the environment, human rights, and other social justice issues.
