In our travel programs you will have the opportunity to meet with many sectors of society and experience many aspects of the culture. Programs typically include: discussions with human rights workers; with women's rights organizers; with church leaders (Catholic and Evangelical) working for social justice; political parties and citizen organizations; economic and political updates and analysis to better understand the reality in southern Mexico; anthropologists and other academics; visits to indigenous villages, to Zapatista communities and to internal refugee camps; as well as cultural visits to environmental reserves, museums, archaeological sites and eco-tourism resorts. We follow an action-reflection methodology to observe, reflect and analyze our experiences in Chiapas. We do this with regular reflection/debriefing sessions. We work by forming a community of learners to help one another with our travel experience.
