Through experiential and community-engaged learning, students will explore sustainable and equitable urban change in one of Brazil’s most innovative cities. Belo Horizonte is globally known for its participatory governance and urban policy successes. </div>

One week of the program will overlap with the Change Stories Fellowship. Students will collaborate on projects with professionals and activists from the USA and internationally who are actively shaping urban change. This study abroad is a unique combination
 of networking and learning with real-world impact in a global context.</div>
