In partnership with ComunicArte Project, JFK University’s Art & Ecology in Costa Rica program provides multi-cultural learning exchanges between artists, students, teachers and locals to creatively and holistically address the most pressing environmental issues of our time. Through course work at JFK University’s Berkeley Campus and during the three-week summer residency in Costa Rica, up to 14 participants will integrate research in eco-psychology, sustainability and community art into a co-created art project with the residents of Punta Banco, Costa Rica (a small, rural village of 250 people, located on the South Pacific Coast). Upon returning to the United States, students will then modify or further develop these projects and implement them in their own communities. Students will also summarize their research and experiential learning in a final presentation, their own personal artwork and an eight page academic paper for a total of six quarter units of course credit through JFK University. There are also limited spaces for non-students to audit the course for no credit. This promises to be not only an exhilarating summer vacation searching for sea turtles in the sand and listening for howler monkeys among the lush canopy of tropical rainforests, but a chance to deeply connect with others through art and creative play, while co-creating a massive ecological healing initiative for our collective psyche and the planet.
