SDPUS
Hello,
SDPUS is a global network of Professors who have begun working as academic "citizens of the world" on university campuses and in the field of the quickly developing world of Latin America. Our professors teach, mentor, and conduct local research as they internationalize K-12 & university faculties within their host countries. Strategic Decisions & Partnerships is an innovation, inspired in large part by current trends towards globalization.
We are:
working to meet the higher education faculty needs around the world.
helping less developed countries in Latin America improve domestic educational opportunities.
spreading by cultural diffusion, with each participating K-12 District or University making its own cultural, social, ideological, ecological, and technological contributions.
providing academic, organizational, and financial support needed to make the above possible
We're currently offering new study abroad opportunities in Costa Rica. We are seeking out schools and universities to partner with. We are an established non- profit educational agency whom is led by myself, Peter F. Fiorentino. We look forward to possible discussions on creating joint ventures with your institution by coordinating RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT and coupling it with our CR TRAVEL--STUDY ABROAD/ INTERNSHIPS. We have a variety of volunteer opportunities for students and faculty alike, which are to the benefit of many!
Our first model community that we are working with is Villareal, which is a small community located in the NW coastal area of Costa Rica approximately 4-5 hours from the main city of San Jose. It is primarily a ranching and agricultural society near the coastal resort of Tamarindo. Our ultimate goal is to create sustainable earth friendly schools in needy rural areas of developing nations, such as Villareal.
We have a multitude of opportunities for faculty and students alike to volunteer time for this effort, while also providing adventure travel to further enjoy the beauty and charm of Costa Rica.
Schools for a Sustainable Future GOAL: To support the development of earth-focused primary and secondary schools throughout the world that aim to grow an eco-literate citizenry, that equip students with the skills, knowledge and understanding necessary to make well informed environmental decisions, and that instill in learners the civic responsibility necessary to become kind and caring stewards of the Earth.
Scholarships GOAL: To enable children and adults throughout the world to engage in formal and community-based learning activities which promote a better understanding of our Earth and its natural resources.
Marine and Biological Research GOAL: To establish marine research and biological laboratories in remote locations around the world. These will be available to students, researchers, and their associates for short-term research. Study of the world's oceans and biological habitats is vital to sustaining humanity and our planet Earth. The Foundation is working to establish facilities at remote sites to offer researchers and students unique opportunities for studying marine ecosystems.
Ecological Preserves GOAL: To acquire and place in perpetual trust at-risk ecosystems. The Foundation will then utilize these as managed and environmentally focused laboratories for the benefit of students, teachers, researchers, visitors, and surrounding communities while at the same time protecting their natural habitat. With ecosystems disappearing at alarming rates, this is one of the most important aspects of the Foundation's work.
Conservation Centers GOAL: To enable communities located near sensitive environmental "hot spots" to establish conservation exhibits and education centers for the benefit of their own citizens, as well as visitors from around the world.
Please see our websites below for more information. Thanks again for your time and please do keep us in mind! I would be more than happy to personally answer any questions you or your institution may have. I also would like to extend an invitation for you to come and visit Tamarindo, Costa Rica to see first hand exactly what we are doing. I am certain you will be impressed!
Best regards,
