EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMES IN BOLIVIA
We are contacting Colgate University to kindly ask you to pass this information on your social medias and appropriate resources to your Latin American Studies students, in particular to those planning years abroad (or those currently on them). This opportunity may also be of interest to those studying degrees related to Spanish language, journalism, media, international relations and cultural studies.
Bolivia Unlimited (formerly Bolivian Express) is an organisation founded by Oxford graduates in 2010 and Bolivian journalists, and is based out of La Paz, Bolivia, in South America. We are dedicated to promoting journalism, intercultural exchange, and Bolivian culture to the English-speaking world. We run 1-3 month internship programmes in journalism, documentary production or Spanish, designed for students interested in learning Spanish and getting an insight into the world of print or video journalism.
We have worked with nearly 400 students from all over the world and recently completed our 91th edition. Many of these students come in their year abroad or looking for Summer Programmes and we have developed a wide network of alumni that we would like to keep expanding by collaborating further with your university.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could circulate the blurb and informational brochure (attached) at the end of this email to the student body (Facebook/Twitter), copying me in so I can confirm receipt. Should this not be the right department within the faculty, please forward to the relevant person (also copying me in so I can update the contact on our end).
For more information please have a look at our website: http://www.boliviaunlimited.org/ You can also contact one of our Alumni that could provide you with more information about the experience: [email protected]
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about our organization.
Kind regards,
Caroline Risacher Espinoza
Executive Editor
Director
Bolivia Unlimited

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMES IN BOLIVIA
Internships and Training Programmes
Debating whether to go travelling or get work experience instead? Now you can do both.
Bolivia Unlimited is a social enterprise based in La Paz, Bolivia. We offer 1-3 month residential training programmes designed to introduce participants to print journalism and documentary production through internships in an international working environment. We also run Spanish immersion programmes, for those looking to learn or improve their Spanish whilst enjoying a cultural experience outside of the mainstream. Bolivia Unlimited was founded in 2010 by Bolivian journalists and Oxford graduates. Since then, over 270 talented individuals from 30 countries have worked with us, creating 77 issues covering everything from politics and art to football and gay parades. We’ve won the attention of TEDx, local sports stars and even the Bolivian Vice President.
BX Magazine - Print Journalism Programme
You will research and write your own articles and/or put together photo essays. You will be given extensive editorial support, as well as help with the production of your pieces, also taking part in designing the magazine. During the week you will take lessons in Spanish, journalism and photography, and will also attend newsroom sessions. The magazine is distributed for free across Bolivia and online for the rest of the world.
BX Doc Unit - Documentary Production
You will investigate, shoot and edit your own 3- to 5-minute documentary short. You will work with Bolivia-based video professionals, using professional equipment and editing software. During your stay, you will learn the basics of mini-documentary making, with production and theory classes, as well as one-on-one guidance. The shorts will be distributed through online platforms.
Is it Right for You?
You have an observant eye and inquisitive spirit. Spanish is helpful but not essential. Graduates, current undergraduates and year-abroad students are all welcome; we assign responsibilities in line with experience and reserve spaces for the uninitiated. Working with us you will be immersed in the local environment and, with our support, will get a chance to explore sides of the country largely undiscovered by tourist masses. Your dream career does not have to be journalism; Bolivian Espressos (as former BX interns are known) are sought after by universities and a range of employers for their international experience, level of intellectual engagement and initiative.
BX Spanish and Spanish Plus - Spanish Language learning
You will attend Spanish classes at a local language school, providing a crash course in language learning. With Spanish Plus, you will also receive guided immersion around La Paz with our teachers, allowing you to practise your skills outside the classroom. With both programmes, you will improve your speaking and written language skills, whilst being connected to the vibrant cultural organisation that is Bolivia Unlimited.
Is it Right for You?
You have a desire to converse in another language and an interest in discovering a new culture. You seek a learning experience not limited to verb tables and vocabulary tests. Graduates, current undergraduates and year-abroad students are all welcome; whether you are a complete beginner or have a faint memory of Spanish GCSE, all levels are encouraged. Come and learn language how it should be learned - interacting with native speakers and putting skills to the test in real life, everyday situations.
Apply
We take up to eight participants every month, and as entry is oversubscribed (especially for the summer months), you should apply immediately if this is for you. A number of previous participants have been able to secure college funding to cover part of the programme and travel expenses involved.
More details are available in the attached information sheet, and on our website, where you can also read past issues and apply: http://www.boliviaunlimited.org/

Archaeology and Geophysics (GPR) Field School in Transylvania (Romania)
We are continuing to make great strides into a new understanding of the development of the Roman frontier populations. Dacia (i.e. modern historical Transylvania) was, arguably, the most important frontier of the Roman Empire: its gold and silver sustained the collapsing imperial economy for two centuries. However, the “imperial idea” on the Eastern European Provincial frontier was more complex than Rome ever expected it… and it even outlasted the idea of Rome itself. Local Roman Provincial realities, born out of economic, cultural, social and political creolization, constant and dynamic negotiation of power, and shifting populations, have outlived the ideological centers that have claimed historical ownership of these regions, creating their own distinct expressions of identity.
Our programs offer a very extensive approach to the anthropology and archaeology of the Roman frontier environments, through field work, laboratory analysis and lectures. Our participants will be able to experience several field approaches, ranging from Classical excavation, anthropological site exploration, traditional STP (shovel test pit), geochemical (phosphate analysis) and geophysical (GPR) survey. Our programs provide an anthropological and scientifically integrated approach to a Classical site, in a very complex environment, in a region fundamentally important to our understanding of European genesis.
Our field archaeological and geophysical programs:
Roman Villa And Settlement Excavation and Survey – Identity and Wealth on the Roman Frontier
Location: Rapolt, Hunedoara County, Transylvania - Romania
Dates:
Session 1: June 9 - June 29, 2019
Session 2: June 30 - July 20, 2019
Session 3: July 21 - August 10, 2019
Team Size: 12-15 participants per session
E-mail: [email protected]
Description: The integrated results of our various field techniques have yielded extraordinary results: a rural built space of almost one hectare, with massive fortification walls decorated with exterior frescoes, richly built two stories buildings, containing exceptional artifacts (well preserved bronze statues, jewelry, pristine condition coins, writing implements, etc.). Our target excavation, the central building of the “villa” has already presented us with a very complex and surprising occupation sequence and practices. We will continue to explore the way identity is built and negotiated in a very dynamic and rich frontier environment, as well as the development of a "creole" Roman landscape.
Cost: US$ 1395 per session ( includes program fees, lectures, equipment, room and board - see flyer for details; ; not included: travel to and from Rapolt, medical insurance) ).

Team Size: 3 participants
E-mail: [email protected]
Description: The workshop is designed as an intensive 6-day laboratory and field school in all aspects of ground penetrating radar investigation, from theoretical principles to survey design, field preparation, data collection, in depth analysis, report writing, and podium presentation. Our participants, in 2-3 person teams, will learn the theory and methods involved in GPR exploration in various environments. Our participants will explore a very complex archaeological environment, conducting original research, in a multilayered, target rich environment, ranging in human occupation from pre-Roman to modern periods. They will learn how to manipulate, optimize and analyze in-depth the data collected using SenSoft’s EKKO Project GPR analytical software package, in order to generate professional reports as well as present the research and its results in a scientific manner, in a podium presentation.
Program Fee: US$1085 per session (it includes full room and board as described on the project web page, lectures, training, all field gear, access to analytical software, local transportation to the sites when needed; not included: travel to and from Romania, medical insurance)
Web Site: https://www.archaeotek-archaeology.org/gpr-exploration
