Twenty-six U.S. teachers are going to Costa Rica through the Toyota International Teacher Program from November 19 – December 3, 2011. This teacher program allows the teachers to travel from across the country to Costa Rica, Galapagos, Japan and South Africa to complete a two-week study tour during which they learn about the environmental challenges each country faces.
The program to Costa Rica, a country dedicated to protecting its natural resources, will allow to explore environmental and cultural preservation, biodiversity and sustainability. This includes site visits, discussions, lectures and hands-on activities (meet with local experts, visit schools, museums and the rainforest).
