Past Programs: Study Abroad 2023

Design for a Threatened Planet

In this month-long program to Great Britain and Germany, the cities of Grantham, Nottingham, London, and Munich become living laboratories where students will study environmental sustainability. Using the tools of history and design, students will examine how housing, mobility, food production, and waste systems have shaped contemporary urban environments, then explore creative, hands-on techniques to make cities more sustainable in an age of rapid growth and climate change. No foreign language skills necessary.
