Practicum in Sustainable Community Development: Practicum in Sustainable Community Development

Students taking the Practicum in Sustainable Community Development class traveled to Puerto Rico to apply their understanding of sustainable community development to a real-world context. In Puerto Rico students conducted focus groups with parents and students from the @LEAP STEAM+E Academy of San Juan. They also did a community mapping exercise in the Communities of Parcelas Falú and Salistral & Puerto Viejo communities in Ponce. In addition, students met with local government stakeholders and learnt about the various projects the government is doing on the Island.
