An inter-cultural experiential education seminar for global studies teachers

Benefiting from our strong relationship with communities in the central valleys of Bolivia and years of experience in La Paz and Santa Cruz, participating educators are introduced to a range of academics, activists, scientists, community leaders, farmers and spiritual guides from all corners of Bolivian society.
