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
The trip exceeded my expectations and was much more enjoyable than I thought it would be, whilst still being extremely informative. Eye-opening, very enjoyable, and inspiring further research about the institutions we visited.
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.
I just wanted to thank you for our son's transformational trip to Nepal. You gave them an extraordinary and unique experience for which he, and we, are very grateful. Brilliantly and safely orangised exposure to a country he knew very little about and returned from enriched and much motivated to do more.
An amazing, life-changing experience for students and staff. The most organised, beneficial educational trip you could ever experience – I have never come across a company with such an extensive programme, where you feel you are positively making change in the world. The learning that took place throughout the programme was beyond outstanding
The most important part of the trip for me was watching the students engage in an immersive cultural experience and feeling proud of their achievements and resilience. Also feeling very supported by their trip leader and ground staff in India.
One of the most eye-opening experiences ever. Not only did I learn about a new culture, but the trip tested my friendships and resilience in many good ways and I'm really glad I went!
