- A Worldwide sample of destinations, activities and Expeditions
Where in the world? It's a major undertaking to send your School Expedition
to foreign climes. Success relies on sound planning and preparation which,
in turn, requires cooperation and understanding between students and staff
on a different level to normal school activities. The in-country experience
itself puts the group into situations that require an approach quite different
to the accepted norms at home. The joy of travel and skilfully facilitated
personal development can make your School Expedition the highlight of
the pupils' school career!
VentureCo have first hand operational experience in South and Central
America, Africa, India, Nepal and South East Asia. We have successfully
led expeditions through all of the countries listed below and we have
travel experience in many others. Activities range from adventurous challenges
to cultural exchanges and sports and academia. See below for further details
and worked examples of how we can develop your School Expedition from
conception to reality.
(Bear in mind that these are not "off the shelf" itineraries;
we will work with you to create your own School Expedition and preparation
programme.)
