Human Rights, Women's Rights

Attention: BYU students who want a better world!

Join us in exploring the efforts of nations, institutions, and individuals to foster greater peace, freedom, and general well-being. On this program we will engage with groups and persons advocating for social change, whether through the advancement of women, anti-slavery measures, religious freedom, or literary and artistic output. Our studies will take us to Rome, Lisbon, Belfast, Derry/Londonderry, and London. We will visit Moorish castles, religious sites, monuments to overseas exploration, art museums, Parliament, the Belfast Peace Walls, Bletchley Park (where women codebreakers advanced the end of WWII), participate in peace-building efforts with the Theatre of Witness, and explore several other sites, museums, plays, and performances that seek to celebrate the social and artistic accomplishments of women. For example, did you know that Borghese gallery, the Colosseum, the Forum, the Vatican museums, and the National Gallery of Contemporary Art in Rome are all run by women? Lastly, we hope to indulge in several scenic and scrumptious detours including trips to the Amalfi Coast, the Tuscan countryside, a beautiful Portuguese beach, and the Giant’s Causeway!
