VISAGE - Managua, Nicaragua

Family, Community, and Social Justice in Nicaragua

 

Focusing on one of the poorest countries in the Americas , this course will delve deeply into fundamental issues of social justice and global citizenship.  Through academic work and community service—in Nashville and Nicaragua —we will examine the causes of poverty in Central America and its consequences.  The central focus of the course will be the role of family and community in the struggle to achieve a better life in the face of enormous economic and cultural challenges.
