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 really enjoyed the trip and am glad I signed up. Monteverde was the best – the location was amazing!
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 was fantastic that it covered so many aspects of the curriculum - this trip also went way beyond what they learn in school.
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.
5 days in Geneva would be an amazing experience for any 17-18 year old. But this trip was truly amazing - it opened up their eyes to life and what really goes on. My daughter loved every part of the trip, learnt loads, and would love to go and live in Geneva now!
The turtle project was amazing because it helped us connect with nature and get away from technology. They were very careful about what they did to help the environment.
