Jesuit University Student
Delegation
This is a unique opportunity for students
involved in fair trade, labor and sweat-free movements on
their campus to explore issues of economic justice in El
Salvador.
By
participating in this travel seminar from July 23 to August
1, 2007, students will and strengthen their campus-based
student organizations at Jesuit universities through direct
encounters with union leaders, factory workers, coffee cooperative
members, artisans and Salvadoran university students.
We encourage students to seek university sponsorship from
Campus Ministry, the offices of the President and Provost,
the Jesuits, academic departments, and other related groups,
centers, or projects on campus to finance their participation
in the delegation. We also encourage university departments
to commit to funding and finding a student to attend the
delegation. In this way, the students are empowered to attend
as a representative of her/his university and return to campus
to work directly with fellow students and university administrators
on important issues of labor and economic justice.
Program fees are $855 (not including airfare). Register
as soon as possible to reserve your place on the delegation,
a $50 deposit is due March 23, 2007. For more information,
ideas for securing university sponsorship, or to confirm
your interest in sending a student, please contact Marielle
Murphy at encounter@crispaz.org.
