IFR | Learn Archaeology on an Excavation in the Caribbean
by IFR Global
Program Overview
Embark on a thrilling summer adventure on the captivating island of Providencia. Located in the heart of a stunning UNESCO biosphere reserve in the Western Caribbean, the island’s rich cultural tapestry reflects its history as a global trade hub shaped by English and Spanish rule and encounters with pirates and privateers. Today, it remains home to the Raizal descendants of English colonists, enslaved Africans, and self-emancipated villagers. Join IFR’s community-led project to help preserve Raizal heritage through a real archaeological excavation that supports their pursuit of cultural self-determination.
