      Language Immersion. Cultural Engagement. At-Home Activities.<\/h3>\n
      \n\t
      We believe these experiences prepare students for success as global citizens and leaders.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Whether exploring the streets of Mexico City or writing a pen pal in Costa Rica, students learn best when they connect their classroom knowledge to real world experiences and people.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

      Once you are familiar with the topic you will learn first hand from Walking Tree Travel's in-country partners and friends. WTT's resources will help you get a local's perspective on each topic. These activities may include virtual tours, academic lectures with professionals on the ground, interviews and more.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
