Using established partner relationships, students will work with international partners to address identified challenges to learn the principles of extension methodology and sustainable community development by integrating their discipline knowledge and technical skills from previous courses. Students will also learn intercultural communication, market analysis, project design and planning, business planning and business ventures, and cultural factors affecting community food security while they work in bi-national teams. Some key objectives are to strengthen the learning, literacy, and life skills of Peruvian and Purdue students through mutually beneficial engagement to improve lives and livelihoods. Students will also be required to register for a preparation 8-week seminar fall 2025 (2nd half of semester) and an 8-week post-course spring 2026. Students will earn a total of three academic credits for this experience.
