My name is Caitlin Albright and I am majoring in Art Education with a minor in Leadership Develop Through Civic Engagement. I am so excited and proud to be a part of Team Nicaragua and look forward to sharing my experiences with others. What first interested me in this delegation was the opportunity to take my education beyond the classroom and learn about global issues by seeing the effects of various U.S. policies first hand. Through my art and later through my teaching, I hope to create awareness for various issues, including human rights, health and safety, and the environment. I also hope that by stepping out of my comfort zone, I can open myself up to new ideas, ask questions, and gain a better, more informed perspective on the world.
Team Nicaragua is an annual international learning delegation of 20 Montclair State University students, under the direction of Jhon Velasco, Director of the Center for Non Violence and Peace Initiatives. This unique program offers students the opportunity to learn first hand about the social, political, and economic disparities in developing countries and the United States, using the complexities of the issues in Nicaragua as a model.
