Some students have taken part in international learning experiences, including trips to Colombia, Brazil, and Ecuador, and events such as Slow Food International's Terra Madre in Turin, Italy. The program is delivered on campus at Algoma University's Sault Ste. Marie, Brampton, and Timmins locations, with course delivery shaped through partnerships with local communities and organizations.
