Lives in Motion Film Showing

Apr 24, 2025 : 5:30 pm - 12:00 am @ DMC 5.102, Dean

Join us Thursday, 4/24 at 5:30 PM in DMC 5.102 for the Lives in Motion Film Showing! These films were all made by the Colombia/Mexico teams from the 2024 President’s Award for Global Learning. The following films will be shown:

Café de Sombra
El Café Por Generaciones
Compartiendo Mi Tierra Querida

The President’s Award allows interdisciplinary faculty teams to address a global challenge in collaboration with an international partner. In 2024, the Lives in Motion groups traveled to both Colombia and Mexico to explore migration from a wide perspective, focusing on Quindío, a region in the Colombian Coffee Axis, and the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve in Mexico. Benefiting from faculty and partners’ work in Latin American studies, language pedagogy, visual arts and environmental studies, the students transformed this learning experience abroad and effect greater global awareness through storytelling.
