From January 2-18, 2007, a winterim course in Venezuela provided a group of Dickinson students both the historical background and a hands-on exposure to the new model of “participatory democracy, endogenous development, and regional integration” that is developing in Venezuela today.

The course focused on social issues such poverty, education and empowerment. This trip abroad also addresses some of the underlying assumptions we, as Americans, have when examining different societies such as Venezuela, and how these assumptions might affect our study.
