Do you want to do something with the injustice in the world? Do you want to find out more about racism and the causes of poverty and conflict? This is your class you`ll be doing this firsthand!
We travel to South Africa and Israel/Palestine to work with mediation, activism, and trying to influence political decision-making. The learning process includes exercises and role games, the making of life-changing acquaintances and going to inspiring lectures, participating in discussions and the entailing reflections. Group projects and excursions are salient aspects of the learning process. We attend debates and take part in demonstrations, go to theaters and try to benefit as much as we can of the rich cultural and social life of the city.
Who is this class suitable for?
