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 was really inspired by what I learnt and it made me realise how much work goes into helping people around the world and how a lot still has to be done.
We learnt a huge amount about Religious Studies, sustainable development, migration, geohazards and resource security. All the international agencies have been fantastic. This has been the best school trip we have ever been on.
Absolutely perfect. Perfectly organised visits and transportation. Well done and a huge thank you. Always a step ahead of us, the overall experience was not stressful for us as staff.
An amazing memorable trip - truly a once in a lifetime trip that was more like an educational holiday than a school trip.
It exceeded my expectations, it was by far the best experience of my life. I learnt just how lucky I am and that I should never take what I have for granted.
Truly a great experience – very professional! It went over and above my expectations, a once in a lifetime experience.
