Center for Global Education and Experience at Augsburg University

The Center for Global Education and Experience (CGEE) at Augsburg University delivers high-impact, experiential programming in Africa, Europe, and Latin America. Inspired by Paulo Freire’s philosophy of popular education, our global programs are designed to learn from communities and groups working for social change to inform thought and action for personal and societal transformation. Since 1979, we have worked with participants from colleges and universities, as well as religious institutions, non-profit organizations, businesses, and others, to provide global academic programs built upon our five pillars of education: intercultural, experiential, holistic, analytical, and transformative. We currently offer semester and summer options for undergraduate students, in addition to our customizable short-term programs for groups. Countries in which we work currently include: Costa Rica, Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, Italy, Mexico, Namibia, Northern Ireland, Norway, and South Africa.
