Latin American Development Studies - LASC This lively and participative course provides an overview of the causes and consequences of lack of development in Latin America. Rooted firmly in the experience of the people of the region, the course will cover historical, social, economic, political and cultural perspectives.
Participants will become familiar with the issues, how people in Latin America have responded to them, how these problems are related to Ireland and the rest of the world and how people here can take action on these matters.
Students who successfully complete this course are awarded a FETAC Level 5 module in Latin-American Development Issues which is recognised both nationally and throughout the EU and may be used to progress to further study. Latin American Development Studies is presented in conjunction with LASC, the Latin American Solidarity Centre.
