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
Our time in Zanzibar has been fascinating - it has opened our eyes to our privilege, and it has been the trip we will remember forever.
The trip was absolutely perfect! Our son came back quite thankful for what he gets at home and showing more empathy towards less fortunate people. I truly am very grateful to Global Action for thier amazing work and wonderful commitment towards younger people.
Just a quick note to say how impressed I was with your team who joined us on Friday last week. They are all superb ambassadors for your company and clearly want to make this a student-centred, fabulous experience. They also have boundless energy – something much appreciated by our own young people.
Our students have returned more passionate, more aware of the impact they have on the world, more tolerant, more united and with a greater sense of their international identity.
I just wanted to let you and the team know what a fantastic time my group all had in Zanzibar! I have worked with several tour companies in the past but none have been as impressive as Global Action; your organisation and thorough planning ensured a well-run trip. My students have all gained so much in many ways!
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!
