Study Abroad in Italy

During summer 2018 Education Abroad will run a two week program in Italy to study the refugee crisis and its relationship with human trafficking.  The trip will focus on education and culture in Rome, Naples, and Sorrento. More details for the program can be found on the website and the attached flier. 

During and after the course students will be expected to:

• Observe and assess the prevalence and forms of human trafficking in Italy (specifically Rome and Naples);
• Develop an understanding of the reactions to human trafficking, both by the government as well as non-profit organizations;
• Participate in service activities in a non-profit setting in order to understand the challenges faced by both the organization and the people it serves;
• Articulate an understanding of why Italy is a Tier 1 country according to the world's report card on human trafficking (the U.S. Department of State's Trafficking in Persons report) and yet is facing significant challenges addressing the unique challenges of refugees arriving in their nation from neighboring countries. 
• Process and reconcile what they are reading, hearing, and seeing through journaling, presentations, and a final paper.
