PtC Global Trek
Panama: Spanish & Culture 

Experience Panama through language, culture, and connection. The PtC Global Trek: Panama – Spanish + Culture immerses youth in an interactive study abroad experience where Spanish comes to life beyond the classroom.

​

Through cultural exploration, hands-on language practice, historic sites, local cuisine, community engagement, and youth-to-youth exchange, participants strengthen their Spanish skills while discovering Panama’s rich blend of African, Indigenous, Caribbean, Latin American, and global influences.

​

More than a trip, Global Trek Panama encourages youth to communicate with confidence, embrace new perspectives, and become culturally aware global citizens.
