In the most recent class in the Global Rice Empowers Academics and Training (GREAT) Project Feb. 11, local young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities were treated to a fun-filled afternoon where international graduate students and Rice staff with the Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS) hosted a “Walk Through Latin America.”
During the event held in Herring Hall, the young adults learned about 24 Latin American countries through a series of games and interactive exercises, all led by Rice graduate students from the aforementioned nations. Guests were treated to tacos ahead of the day’s festivities, and the afternoon was capped off with a Brazilian samba dance lesson.
