The Protection and Wellbeing of Displaced Children: A Colombian Case Study

3 units

This Colombian Case study involves a travel portion over approximately 10 days in collaboration with the School of Government at Los Andes University Students will meet over zoom with Los Andes students in spring 3-4 sessions. Students will spend the majority of the time in and around Bogota with guest lectures from faculty at Los Andes University, UNICEF, Government officials and others as well as site visits to displaced communities and other at-risk populations around Bogota. Students from the Brown School and Los Andes will have the opportunity to learn, observe and reflect together on a range of issues and approaches - from high-level policies to community-led approaches to protection. During their stay, students will shadow implementing programming for children and families, and review monitoring and evaluation frameworks and other internal accountability processes.
