SIT Study Abroad: Chile: Cultural Identity, Social Justice, and Community Development


Chile has undergone monumental political, economic, and social changes over the past four decades, including transitioning away from a 17-year dictatorship. While abroad, you will explore how Chileans today are building a more equitable and inclusive nation and become part of a larger intercultural movement. Spend one week with a Mapuche community and meet Aymara and Quechua communities. Work on a community project with an NGO, and strengthen your Spanish through coursework, homestays, and excursions.

Please visit the SIT Study Abroad website for details on the program highlights and details of coursework, educational excursions, and housing.

HEAR FROM A FORMER STUDENT
"This program and experience in Chile is one that if you allow it will challenge you to fully explore your sense of adventure and ability to truly sit and revel in the moments that make up the fullness of life. SIT provides you with the the kind of rigor whose rewards are invaluable and everlasting. This program is structured in such a way that you very much make of your experience what you want. But the other incredible part of this program is it surrounds you with so many invaluable resources and such support that you can take leaps and bounds if you are driven to."
