Description:
Our annual Summer Field School brings students, researchers, and faculty from all over the world to Guatemala for intensive language classes combined with research or other community-based projects. The field school is offered in collaboration with our local partner Wuqu’ Kawoq, as well as other community organizations (Renacimiento, and a women's cooperative).
This year, we will have two different summer program options:
1. Three-week Kaqchikel Language and Community Development Experience. Patzún, June 22 - July 14
2. Four-week K'iche' Language School and Field Research Program. Nahualá, July 6 - August 4
The cost for the three-week program will be $2350 for the three-week program and $2700 for the four-week program. Students may also apply to participate only in the two-week K'iche' language school (July 6th - July 21st). However, there are a limited number of places for the two-week-only option, and priority will be given to local NGO workers and interns with Wuqu' Kawoq. We hope to offer reduced program fees to certain groups of participants, including NGO workers/volunteers, Guatemalan residents, and participants who are entirely self-funded.
