MOROCCO: SIGHTS & INSIGHTS

Fall 2019; Winter 2019

 

Join us this fall or winter as we travel through Morocco and explore its cultural and geographical

tapestry. We will visit big cities and desert villages and towns; meet with members of Amazigh,

Arab, and Jewish communities; explore religious and cultural sites; meet academics, activists,

religious leaders, policy-makers, professionals, and artisans; and examine intercommunal relations

in historical and contemporary contexts. While in Morocco, we will also engage in service-learning

activities with community-based NGOs and Associations.

 

The program offers a perfect opportunity for students conducting research projects in the region, as well as anyone interested in an in-depth exploration of the country's history and current affairs.

 

For those interested, there is a possibility of staying in the region longer and being placed in an internship and/or language study program.  It is also possible to join our trip to Israel prior to this trip.  For more information about the Israel/Palestine Trip press
