09. Stories of Sustainability in Tanzania

Winter 2023

Faculty: Chris Romano, Dan Nyaronga

During the Winter 2023 semester, this study abroad group traveled to Tanzania for a two week experiential learning program to explore foundations of sustainable development and resource management in northern Tanzania. The theoretical focus of the program followed the direction of the UN Sustainable Development goals.

It was examined how these goals are being developed on in rural communities across Tanzania, exploring issues of health, education, water, community, and environmentalism. The program traveled to Mwanza, Shinyanga, Musoma, Tarime, Magumu, Serengeti National Park, and Arusha, while working with local NGO’s in order to understand and collaborate on sustainable projects.
