FTMBA Nicaragua – El Salvador International Travel Module
Since 2009, 250+ students and alums have participated in
SE@G’s Social Enterprise in Latin America travel modules.
These trips, led by Professor Peter Roberts, expose travelers
to the challenges faced in developing countries by engaging
participants in how businesses and markets are (and are not)
achieving meaningful societal impacts.
In our 2017 FTMBA travel module, participants will spend 9
days /8 nights in Nicaragua and El Salvador exploring the
colonial cities of Granada and Suchitoto, visiting coffee farms
and meeting growers, contributing to a community health
project in the community of Los Robles, meeting social
entrepreneurs and participating in outdoor activities
(volcano hikes and more).
