About the Program
Amsterdam is a city of canals, beautiful architecture, and world class museums, making it one of the most interesting and vibrant capital cities in Europe. The city has long been recognized as a center of tolerance, and the Netherlands is well known for its progressive social policies.
This makes Amsterdam the perfect location to explore the concept of ethical tolerance and examine its impact on Dutch society.

country. Students visit:
- Edam and Haarlem, two of the best preserved 17th Century cities of the Dutch Golden Age
