What was new this January? How about the College of Global Studies organizing a program focused on art and design in Morocco? While Arcadia doesn’t have semester programming in Morocco, we used our strong partner Allen Hoppes to organize a program for 17 students from the Moore College of Art and Design located in Philadelphia, PA. With visits to artist studios, opportunities to interact with Moroccan citizens through youth, women’s and religious organizations, and of course plenty of time to see the architecture and markets of Morocco, students were inspired to think about art and design in new ways. Take a look at some of the experiences that Moore students had on their blog.
Through its partnership with Allen, Arcadia is able to offer customized programs on a wide variety of topics in Morocco to partner institutions. In addition to art and design, programs can be developed with a focus on business, youth culture, religion, gender, and history. For more information contact Julia Levy: levyj@arcadia.edu
