On the Move: Migration, Mobility, and Global Trade
This summer in Mexico City, MG20 participants will engage with one of the most complex and relevant issues of our time: immigration. Based in the best technology university in Mexico; the Tecnológico de Monterrey, Santa Fe Campus in Mexico City, this program will equip students, for five days, with the tools they need for thoughtful analysis, critical thinking and compassionate yet practical decision making. Along the way, they will explore everything from why people choose to immigrate to border policies, labor laws, and economics – all while gaining firsthand experience in Mexico’s dynamic culture.
