The
Honors College program, "Continuity of Spanish Culture", at Florida
International University, presents a mix of different subjects — culture,
history, politics, economics, movie and television studies, and journalism—
concerned with contemporary Spain. The course provides the relevant
information to understand Spain in its own cultural context and as
a member of the Europe Union. The contrast between traditional
and modern culture, as consolidated in the EU, catches the students'
attention and enables them to comprehend that tradition and modernity
are totally compatible concepts. The students participate in
this intensive program and at the same time enjoy learning about Spain,
not only through text books, but by living, seeing, and listening
on site. |

Student Never
before in my life did the words "learn" and "fun" mix as well as
they did on my recent trip to Spain with the Honors College. Witnessing
certain things first hand is the best ways to truly learn. Traveling
is the perfect route to achieve this and it can become the best
classroom. Spain, however, was a different experience from all my
previous travels. We learned about the country and experienced the
culture with our own adventures through town. Also, this trip gave
me a chance to get to know some professors as people rather than
lecturers. Most of all I left Spain with memories and friends that
I will never forget. |
