Description

Visiting students will develop their competencies in social responsibility by way of a process that combines theory and practice and provides concrete experiences in social responsibility where students interact directly with highly vulnerable communities in Bogota. Students will benefit from a diverse array of citizenship activities including lectures, workshops, site visits, and field work.

Our international summer course supports solidarity between the countries of the North and the South, promotes equality and development, and provides opportunities to exchange resources and tools.
