Winter program
Dates: January 6- 19, 2024
Price: US$ 1,590
Description:
This program is for women and men interested in studying Spanish while learning about Mexican culture, politics, and economics through the lens of women's experiences and struggles for social justice. Study how women from various backgrounds (i.e. Indigenous, students, workers) have been affected by the neoliberal model of globalization and the kinds of mobilizations they have initiated or participated in. Establish and strengthen links between women of different countries (whose lives in an increasingly globalized world are more interrelated than ever) by sharing our respective struggles for justice and equality.
* Activities on Women & Social Change:
Talks, videos and visits with women and grassroots projects are scheduled during the afternoon. Themes will be approached "from below" by spending time with activist groups and with an orientation towards social change.
INCLUDES:
* Classes:
Intensive language instruction, 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Students are evaluated and placed at the appropriate level with a maximum of five students in each class.
* Cultural Activities
Guest speakers, lectures and roundtable discussions, field trips, museum visits, videos, and encounters with local community groups afford participants an understanding of the cultural context of gay and lesbian identity in Mexico.
Topics/Activities may include:
Weekend Excursions
Homestay
Staying with a Mexican family provides a vibrant sense of the Mexican people and makes the course even more personal and meaningful. It also provides participants with ample opportunity to practice Spanish in everyday situations. We also offer homestays with gays and lesbians in the Cuernavaca community, (Note: hotel or apartment accommodations are also available upon request).
The cost is $ 1,546 US dollars and includes full room (shared) and board with a Mexican family, two weeks of intensive Spanish instruction, educational material, cultural activities, local excursions in the Cuernavaca area and one weekend excursion.
