These academic expedition will provide students with a unique, adventure based, experiential learning opportunity in some of the most beautiful places on Earth. This year, this particular program will run expedition in the Balkans (Kosovo, Albania, Montenegro).

This 7 credit field course (in Washington DC and the Balkans) affiliated with the Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs will provide students with a unique, experiential learning opportunity in one of the last bio-diversity hotspots in Europe, a place where the legacy of the conflict of the 1990s is being overcome with entrepreneurship, ecotourism and environmental peacebuilding. Starting with three days in Washington DC, students will gain a foundational understanding of how environmental security thinking led to a focus on environmental peacebuilding.
