EXPERIENCes

Nido de Vida connects people and ideas through workshops and community gatherings in Union La Bolivarense and the region. We create opportunities for the exchange of experiences and ideas. Now, during the pandemic, this also means finding ways to engage virtually.

We are developing a system of partnerships and collaborations, locally and globally, to be a part of a network of community and environmetanlly minded individuals, community groups, and organizations. Together, we can do and achieve more!

Exploration of culture, life experiences, and local issues through a familial and communal lens.

Project-based experiences focused on local priorities.

Connecting with people and nature.

Internships

These are project based with pre-determined deliverables driven by local priorities. Internships are typically 4-8 weeks in length and are a fantastic opportunity to apply academic learning to real world challenges and solutions, to be immersed in a community, as well as to improve language skills.

Service Learning

Programs are for groups interested in service as a mechanism to: experiencing academic learning objectives in the real world; exploring local culture; and learning about local issues, challenges, and opportunities.
