The Douglas College Field School Program is looking for four more applicants for its 2012 trip to Belize.
Participants must be post-secondary students but do not have to attend Douglas College and should be prepared for a unique, hands-on classroom experience.
"This is an amazing educational experience that offers post-secondary students an opportunity to engage in transformative, beyond-lectures and -textbooks learning process," said Siobhan Ashe, a sociology professor at Douglas College who is facilitating the trip.
The program runs May 1 to June 25. Students attend classes at Douglas College for the first three weeks, followed by five weeks of study in Belize, based at Galen University.
Anthropology 150, Geography 1190 and Sociology 1155 are offered as part of the program, and all the courses will focus on Latin America, Mayan culture, history and conservation of regional landscapes.
Students who sign up will get the chance to participate in workshops with community leaders and take part in discussions about achieving sustainable development in Latin America, with an emphasis on Belize.
