- Develop your leadership skills
- Learn from Ixtlan de Juarez indigenous community about their approach to conflict and violence
- Experience connections between environment, peace/conflict, governance and community in Oaxaca
In this new collaboration Outward Bound Peacebuilding, students are invited to join a 9-day field intensive program that will strengthen their applied/experiential peacebuilding and conflict transformation skills, develop their leadership capacity and give them time to reflect on peacebuilding from four entry points; self, other, community, environment. Setting the program in the Oaxaca State of Mexico offers a unique opportunity to explore the contours and outcomes of culture and conflict from local government, academic, civil society and indigenous perspectives and practices. Students will spend time exploring Oaxaca City as well as hiking and camping in the spectacular Sierra Juarez Mountain range – one of the last remaining Cloud Forests in Central America.
