This BreakAway will provide the unique opportunity to explore the impact of climate change from two distinct cultural perspectives on the Caribbean islands of Spanish-speaking Puerto Rico and French-speaking Guadeloupe. Before departing, you will learn about the heritage and languages of both islands. Once there, you will have opportunities to experience the two cultures first-hand, explore historic sites, visit natural wonders, which could include coral reef, tropical forests, and sea turtles, and meet with peers from partner universities. This trip will also include several service-learning activities that will allow you to interact closely with both nature and the people trying to preserve it.
