Title:
Comunidades y Emprendedurismo
Project Description:

Students will explore the history and development of Hispanic enclaves in the United States, focusing on factors like displacement and militarization, in contrast to Costa Rica's different development experience; in this context, they will work on developing tourism entrepreneurship in a rural area of Costa Rica to minimize displacement to the capital, San José, and potential emigration.

View the oral history video created by the professors to document their students' conversations during this project. 

Learning Outcomes:

Students will be able to demonstrate the importance of innovation and key entrepreneurship traits in socioeconomic development, specifically aimed at empowering rural communities and minimizing displacement. 

Students will be able to design a corporate social responsibility strategy to assess the costs associated with the actions to be developed and to identify potential beneficiaries. They will also be able to record the strategy design process through binational filming with the goal of creating an oral history video for the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program.
