Back to the Switzerland trip

Geneva - international co-operation and development

Global Action offers a truly bespoke service and no two itineraries are the same. Sometimes, itineraries may be subject to change due to circumstances outside our control. We will always endeavour to give you an outstanding trip tailored to your learning aims.

  • Build Up

    Global Learning Workshop

    Prior to departure, your Global Action Destination Manager will facilitate a Global Learning Workshop at your school, to help prepare students for their UN agency and NGO visits.

  • Day 1
