Virtual program in Lisbon
Students discover the beauty of Lisbon and gain a deep understanding of its history and culture in this exciting virtual program. Through guest lectures on topics such as the Estado Novo, Portugal's authoritarian dictatorship, and guided tours of the cobblestone streets of Lisbon, students engage with the city and locals in our activities and gain experiences to apply to their coursework. In addition, students learn to make traditional Portuguese pastries, pastel de nata, to share with friends and family as we celebrate their hard work. We can’t wait to host you in Lisbon! Até logo!
