Learning Outcomes
Our expeditions are about learning outside the classroom. Travel offers incredible opportunities for young people to explore their boundaries, learn about global issues and step outside their home community bubble. Our expeditions aim to broaden horizons, both students and teachers, provide opportunity for young people to take on new responsibilities and for experiential learning to take place. We want to offer teachers and students support in the journey whilst still keeping ownership of your expedition within your school. Assigning students tasks for fundraising, lesson plans to use across your currcilum and direct links with schools and organisations within Malawi.
