Welcome: Part 2!
Welcome back, everyone! I am so grateful, happy, and excited to share that I will be going back to Europe for 2 weeks for another study abroad this July. This time, I am participating in the Nurturing Hope Program with other San Antonio students and faculty. During my time in Europe, I will travel to Ireland and Northern Ireland to engage in discussions about conflict and peace reconciliation in the context of The Troubles, the civil war in Northern Ireland that ended in 1998. To do this, we are visiting various peace centers throughout these regions, participating in the The Nurturing Hope Learning Journey at Corrymeela, attending historical sites and events related to The Troubles, and learning from other organizations that focus on peace building. I've always been passionate about being active in the community, and am excited to gain an international and unique perspective on how to bring communities together in the midst of conflict. As always, thank you to the UTSA Honors Co...
