Travel with Purpose Program

February 1, 2020

Based on our years of delivering experiential learning opportunities we have developed a program called Travel with purpose.
This program is done in a different country each year, where participants from all over the world can join. It is a journey of personal transformation where you live or work with local communities who are bringing real change; coupled with a theoretical foundation and practical skills.
For the past years we have done 7 Travel with purpose programs!

“Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.” – Dalai Lama
