"This is the greatest opportunity for learning about yourself and the world around you.  Come and experience the knowledge and warmth of a culture that is so close to your border and so far from what is known as familiar."

Seeing the world

through another's eyes...in Mexico

Why Mexico?

 

Cuernavaca, "City of Eternal Spring," is the setting for our programs. It is well known for its role in innovative grass-roots education, alternative health practices, Base Christian Communities (“BCCs”), and economic cooperatives.  North Americans, Japanese and Europeans are attracted to Cuernavaca’s numerous Spanish language schools.

 

The Center for Global Education maintains two study centers in the Colonia San Anton neighborhood where classes are held and students live for part of the semester.

 

Home stays with local families are also included, as well as intensive language instruction, opportunities for field work in an internship or independent study, and some regional travel and field trips.

 

Instruction provided by our on-site faculty is supplemented by many local resource people with broad ranges of experience and viewpoints, giving multiple perspectives on the topics being studies.

“As much as I’ve talked and thought about solidarity while in the US nothing compares to the experience of being in Latin America and truly sharing stories.  I have a much clearer understanding of US/Mexico relationships and feel a commitment to breaking down stereotypes."
