This trip offers a chance to learn about Guadeloupe's colonial past, indigenous heritage, and contemporary social issues while fostering intercultural comparisons and connections with your home and/or host country. Through site visits, lectures, and immersive activities, you'll discover and cultivate an appreciation for the island's blended identity and the concept of “creolité” born from these cultural encounters.
