CLASS ENVIRONMENT

Despite the virtual nature of the program, our classes use participatory and discussion-based pedagogy to encourage meaningful student participation. The classes will include live lectures and discussion sessions, interactive activities, multimedia resources, forum debates, and online essay submissions and feedback. This will allow the students to work with professors and students from different disciplines and engage deeply with the course material. As part of the course schedule, students can virtually interview esteemed guest lecturers such as politicians, social activists, policymakers, local artists, and more. The program will contain a mix of students from the United States, Canada, and Latin America, allowing participants to build connections with students from other cultures and social realities.

OPEN ENROLLMENT

Through the Intercultural Learning Initiative, students will be virtually immersed  in the local culture and language of the Rio de la Plata region. This initiative provides the chance to add an elective extra credit and receive the ADELA-Study Abroad Intercultural Certificate.

This  component of the program will consist of a range of  online culture activities such as virtual museum visits, virtual tours of the city, and master classes in tango, candombe drumming, and Argentine cooking. Students will also have the opportunity to interview cultural representatives of the Rio de la Plata region.

The objective of this program is to provide students with the tools to compare Argentine culture with their own experiences to gain an intercultural perspective. Additionally, interacting with students from Latin America, Canada and the US will enable participants to learn about distinct cultures and realities.
