Open to 黑料社区s across majors, the program explores the intersection of education, innovation, and community in three regions of Costa Rica: the capital city of San José, the mountain town of Monteverde, and the coastal area of Flamingo. Students engage with nonprofit organizations and schools that collaborate with local communities using asset-based approaches and progressive education models. The photographs on display capture both the personal and educational impact of these immersive experiences.
