“Bella Pais” by Alexandra S. 🐻⁠
“My friends and I posing beneath a broken arch in the abandoned Bella Pais Abbey. Located in the Turkish-occupied part of Cyprus, the abbey was originally built by a Lusignan king in the 13th century. My program visited Bella Pais, Kyrenia, and Famagusta as part of our trip into the occupied half of the island.” — 📸 by @ucbstudyabroad⁠

Calling all activists! This program is for you. Social Justice and Activism in Paris⁠
⁠
As a rule, the French have high expectations about the quality of life, freedoms, and values that started with the French Revolution. And when the French are angry, demonstrations erupt. Discover a nation that defines itself as a culture of conflict where people of all ages willingly don a yellow vest and take action. If you love passionate debate and want to influence politics, public policy, and social justice, this is the study abroad program for you. In Paris, you'll see firsthand how voices are heard. You’ll learn why French protests exert more influence and have better results than those of other countries. ⁠

Bordeaux Ma Ville 🥺✨⁠
⁠
5 years ago I went abroad for the first time with UCEAP, FIVE YEARS AGO. My first home away from home was in Bordeaux France and I’m now in my third season of “life abroad” living in Madrid, Spain. I can’t help but feel grateful and proud of myself for going through that very first application process (without even consulting my parents 😅) because now these moves don’t seem so daunting. ⁠
⁠
I had a great time this weekend being a tourist in Bordeaux and finally doing some things I kept putting off while I was living here because I thought I’d get to it eventually. 🥰✨ ⁠

Student voice for Native American Heritage Month⁠
⁠
I believe it is crucial and increasingly urgent that we study indigenous ways of knowing and further develop the field of Native American studies to preserve ancient knowledge systems. ⁠
⁠
My experience studying abroad in Mexico City directly related to my coursework. It provided me the opportunity to practice two languages (Spanish and Native Mexican Nahuatl) and develop my research skills in preparation for graduate school.⁠
