A pathway to global citizenship

Empower your students to become lifelong global citizens, equipped with the knowledge and passion to make a real difference. They'll return home with more than just memories – they'll have the tools to create positive change.

Each program is tailored to meet your specific learning outcomes, aligning to your curriculum and enhancing your students’ development.

Peer to Peer Interaction: Through workshops with local students, your students will be exposed to different cultures, confronted with a diverse set of perspectives, and given an appreciation of their position within a global context.
Cross-cultural Collaboration: In partnership with host communities, your students will observe, understand, and collaborate on locally-led solutions to global challenges.
Create Lasting Change: Projects Abroad is more than a trip — it's a movement. Join a global network of over 135,000 changemakers working towards a more just and equitable world.

Putting the learning in Learning Service

Why are we calling it learning service and not service learning?

For us, learning service emphasizes gaining knowledge and understanding from local communities.

This means you are able to contribute effectively, rather than viewing volunteer travel as a simple opportunity to serve.

Our approach shifts the focus from short-term, ‘feel-good’ projects to long-term personal and global impact, fostering true global citizenship through immersive learning experiences.

Your students will leave with the essential skills needed for success in our interconnected world.

They will hone these skills through:

Intercultural competence: Immersed in different cultures, students will develop deeper cultural awareness and gain an understanding of their role within our global community.
Confidence & Resilience: Step outside of their comfort zones, building resilience and embracing new challenges.
Global Citizenship: First-hand knowledge of global issues and contributing to sustainable solutions.
Personal Growth & Wellbeing: Prioritizing their physical and mental wellbeing, students will foster a healthy learning environment and a more open mind.
Leadership & Empowerment: By developing independent thinking, students can challenge the status quo and exercise new transformative decision-making skills.
Critical Thinking: Analyse complex issues from multiple perspectives, enhancing problem-solving abilities.
Collaboration & Teamwork: Learning to work effectively with diverse groups, bridging cultural and language barriers.
Communication Skills: By communicating clearly and confidently with people from all walks of life.
Ethical Awareness: And most importantly, your students will understand ethical considerations within a global context, fostering responsibility and integrity.
