Human Rights, Women's Rights

Attention: BYU students who want a better world!

Join us in a European exploration into how nations, institutions, and individuals work to foster greater peace, freedom, and general well-being. On this program we will engage with groups and persons advocating for social change, whether in the advancement of women, anti-discrimination measures, science, health, or literary and artistic output. Our studies will take us to Amsterdam, Belgium, Paris, London, Cambridge, Oxford, Bath, and Lyme Regis. We will visit vital social institutions such as Parliament, the European Union, the Black Cultural Archive, and the Centre for Women, Peace, and Security, as well as several other sites, museums, plays, and musicals that look at the human condition. We will do all of this in the pursuit of learning what has been done and what we can do to make this world a more equitable and caring place. We will come to appreciate the lives and achievements of women such as Anne Frank, Jane Austen, Marie Curie, Virginian Woolf, Rosaline Franklin, Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, Florence Nightingale, and numerous other women as we visit the sites where these women made history in the arts, sciences, and social movements. And most importantly, we will create lasting friendships and memories as we climb the Eiffel tower, bike or stroll along Amsterdam’s canals, punt along the River Thames in Cambridge, master the art of Regency dancing in Bath, become chocolate connoisseurs in Belgium, attend musicals in London, hunt fossils on the beach in Lyme Regis, and have ample free time to tailor our study abroad to what interests each of you most!
