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
This trip has changed my son's life. Following his trip he has decided to follow a different career option and he is going to study International Development at Uni as he wants to work in foreign aid-development and make a difference to the world.
Experience was amazing - allowed me to do things I never thought I would, and it changed me positively.
The trip exceeded my expectations. I did not anticipate the far-reaching positive effect it would have on my daughter.
The most important experience was developing students' awareness of the bigger global picture and seeing them grow as people.
Extremely good- inspirational, engaging, interesting and well delivered. OHCHR was brilliant as the speaker got down to the level of the students, didn’t patronise but really challenged everyone in the room.
It was fantastic that it covered so many aspects of the curriculum - this trip also went way beyond what they learn in school.
