On February 7th, Abroadia attended the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University’s study abroad fair. It was well organized and we spoke to many (and more importantly, first-year) students! This was our second year attending this great university and we look forward to our next visit.
Led by Professors Schettino and Westfall, Lafayette College students enjoyed three weeks in Cuba where they volunteered on a farm, performed a dance with Cuban students, conversed with a former Cuban diplomat to the US and interacted with a social critic. We look forward to working with Lafayette College to develop future programs to Cuba!
Today is the Día de Santa Barbara. For many Cubans this is an important day that elicits much celebration. Check out this video to learn more!
Abroadia is pleased to announce its new program in Uruguay in partnership with Audele Uruguay. High school and college students can spend two weeks during the summer in Montevideo completing community projects, taking classes (for high school students) in a high school and learning Spanish.
