Did you know that UVa now has a January Term course in Vietnam? Offered for the first time in 2020, Vietnam: an Ecological-Economic Exploration is a two-week learning experience that began in Ho Chi Minh City, stopped in Dalat and on Cat Ba Island, and ended here in Hanoi. We considered the challenges of sustainability, social advancement, and economic development through experiences ranging from factory and farm tours, NGO roundtables, briefings by Ministry officials, and of course experiencing the culture and landscapes of Vietnam.
We capped the course with a happy hour including several local alumni and are making plans to do so again in 2021. So save 15 Jan 2021 on your calendar and keep fingers crossed that travel is permitted and the course can proceed as scheduled. (If not, we'll be looking at May Term or J-term 2022 for a next iteration.)
See the link below for a description of the course and some photos attached from J-Term 2020.
