Participate in seminars with international NGO experts working in the field, take part in a community development project, and learn how sustainable livelihoods programmes improve lives by introducing alternative income streams into developing economies.
Develop your knowledge and engage critically with international and local conservation NGOs, explore biodiverse environments through observational research, and learn how communities are engaging with permaculture, climate change reduction and endangered species conservation.
Seminars with UN Human Rights agencies in Geneva, working on a clean water project in a refugee camp, meeting a gender rights activist, or exchanging ideas with school children in a secular ethics workshop – there are many ways you can explore social justice issues on a Global Action trip.
Global Learning is education that puts cross-curricular learning in a global context. We won’t be asking you to sit an exam on it, but we hope you will look at life differently after your trip (in a good way!).
It helps support:
“We must foster global citizenship. Education is about more than literacy and numeracy. It is also about citizenry. Education must fully assume its essential role in helping people to forge more just, peaceful and tolerant societies.”
Ban Ki-moon, Former United Nations Secretary-General
It truly was a very special trip and one that I know has had a huge impact on the students. The opportunities they had were fantastic and the students made the most of each and every one. The whole team based both in the UK and Nepal have been fantastic in the planning and throughout ... I cannot thank you enough. It was the least stressful trip I have ever been involved in!
I learnt about the sustainable development goals, and I was inspired to look into them more to see what I can do to make a difference.
I really enjoyed the trip and am glad I signed up. Monteverde was the best – the location was amazing!
The organisation and support during the trip was vital for its outstanding success. The trip exceeded all of my expectations by far. All of the activities contributed to greater understanding of India and the success of the trip.
The trip exceeded my expectations and was much more enjoyable than I thought it would be, whilst still being extremely informative. Eye-opening, very enjoyable, and inspiring further research about the institutions we visited.
This has been a once in a lifetime opportunity. I have learnt so much about culture, survival, recycling, and the ecology of animals. To come this far has been overwhelming, it has been truly spectacular.
