Alternative Summer breaks

Peru May Term: May 14-May 28, 2008

This learning experience will introduce CSB/SJU students to some aspects of the Peruvian society and the lives of the Quechua and Aymara women and men who live in the southern part of Peru, especially Cusco and Puno.  CSB/SJU students will visit a few shantytowns in the city of Lima on the coast of Peru as well.  This learning experience is a unique opportunity to reflect on the lives and the key roles that different organizations have played in the developing country of Peru and their contributions to the global village.  It is also a chance for students to gain a greater apprectiation and understanding of the culture by sharing and partaking in it.  Through readings, presentations, discussions, field trips, and reflection, we will explore the political, economic, social, and religious contributions that these dynamic organizations make to their cultural evolution.
