<h3 dir="ltr"><strong>Overview</strong></h3>
<p>The MD4SG Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) group aims to develop a new topical focus on issues relevant to the region. This semester&rsquo;s focus will be on addressing challenges through a&nbsp; social cohesion and integration lens. Major themes include: migration (especially the Venezuelan diaspora), crime (with a focus on youth crime), and education (integrating/engaging at risk youth in educational systems). We welcome members to join our upcoming bilingual (English and Spanish) meetings. Currently our capacity for new members is small due to the new nature of the group, but our goal is to grow throughout 2021, so please feel free to reach out to learn more about our schedule and how to get involved over the year!</p>
