For the upcoming year, students will engage with the complex history of the Balkans. The civil war in the region left scars that can still be felt. D-E students will meet local people, learn about their experiences, and hear their visions for the future. They’ll contribute to making those visions a reality through meaningful community service in areas still recovering from years of war and conflict. Participants will earn 10 learning service hours.
