Global Citizenship in Fisheries and Aquaculture

English - French

Bolivia is a small, central South American country with a rich, mysterious human history and diverse, intriguing natural beauty. It has experienced substantial changes over the last century and a half, including many internal civil wars, but retains some of the richest native populations of the countries colonized by Spain. It also remains the poorest country in South America, with many development issues on the horizon as the new indigenous-led government confronts the challenges of its history.

How do the diverse grass-roots communities in the country live in this situation? How does this relate to Canadian life? This series of lessons leads students through a visit to the country and challenges them to create an international development project to make a difference.
