Projects with a pedagogical element either grew out of courses taught at Fordham University or provide additional resources for educators seeking to teach their material in the classroom.
Every spring since 2007, a group of juniors and seniors from Fordham University has walked the last 200 miles of the Camino from Léon to Santiago as part of an Interdisciplinary Capstone Class. The Camino Blog these students’ journeys and showcases the many different final projects the classes have produced. It also provides additional information and FAQs for prospective Study Tour students and anyone interested in the Camino.

The project identifies, describes, and catalogs the medieval in New York, and crafts itineraries that allow New Yorkers or visitors to experience the city in a new way. The aim of the project is to promote engagement with diverse communities, both within and outside of academia, allowing them to experience the influences and echoes of the medieval period in the context of their modern, everyday environments.
