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
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.
We have had our son home for a week now. It is wonderful to see him so animated and so very thrilled with the entirety of his trip. I am so incredibly grateful that he has had this marvellous experience, thanks to you and your Global Action Team. Thank you to everyone for the most brilliant, successful trip.
It was a life changing experience. By witnessing the effect of international problems first hand, I was able to get out of my bubble in England.
My son had the most incredible adventure. The things you managed to pack into 3 weeks were wonderful. It was a joy to watch him and the others go through the whole process. So increedibly proud of them all, and Global Action gave them the opportunity.
Absolutely amazing. I think it has been genuinely life changing. Really made me want to make a difference.
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.
