This will be and incredible, fast, action-packed experience ideal for communication majors looking to complete their undergraduate education immersed in a variety of cultures. Highlights include: Palau Guell, Sagrada Familia, Las Ramblas, Jemaa el Fna, Medina, and retreat to the Atlas Mountains to hike, zipline, visit a local village, learn how to make olive oil, and prepare a final meal together (students may opt out of the activities in the Atlas Mountains without penalty). As an interpersonal and intercultural class we will engage with and learn from the local community as much as possible. Students are graded on their participation as well as final presentations and paper.
