Women4Peace

Universidad de La Salle will lead a network of higher Education institutions in Colombia and the U.S. to create the Women4Peace project. This interdisciplinary project will develop leadership and knowledge of undergraduate women studying technology, engineering, agricultural, social, economic, and administrative sciences through development projects that address peace and sustainability in rural areas throughout Colombia. Students will travel to the partner country to participate in training, workshops, and academic activities, and collaboratively formulate and implement project proposals focused on peace building efforts in Colombia.
