Program Overview
This year we will spend most of our time in Poland. Students will study the 20th Century experience of the peoples of East Central Europe with special emphasis on the country of Poland. The four significant historical moments that this program will key on are: The emergence of independent Eastern Europe from 1918-1938, the Nazi conquest and occupation along with the ideologic war commonly known as the Holocaust that they unleashed on the region, the Communist occupation, and most importantly, the reemergence of Eastern Europe as a significant region in today's Global Community. In addition, students will have the opportunity in Krakow to attend musical, theater, and dance performances to enrich the learning experience. By participating in this Study Abroad Program, students will take part in the following activities included in the cost of program: 1) Walking tour of the Old Town Krakow and the old Jewish quarter (Kazimierz). 2) A comprehensive tour of the Jagiellonian Wawel Castle in Krakow. 3) Many additional such tours such as of the Jewish Ghetto in Krakow with the assistance of native tour guides. 5) A day trip to Auschwitz Concentration Camp 4) Overnight trips to Gdansk and Warsaw. 5) Endless tours of Museums, such as the factory run by Oscar Schindler or Galicia Jewish Museum. 6) Driving tour of the province of Galicia complete with a visit to the city of Tarnow. A special feature of this trip is we will ask Polish historians to share their thoughts with you and we always screen a variety of films to support our classroom activities.
