Building
your School Expedition - What to do?
ex·pe·di·tion? [ek-spi-dish-uh
n] - noun
An excursion, journey, or voyage made for some specific purpose or exploration
Multi-Phase Expeditions
Successful school expeditions combine a defined aim (or defined aims),
achievable objectives, a spirited team and good leadership. The expedition
phases listed below will help provide the purpose for your journey.
Cultural Orientation - seeing the world for real
In-country Cultural Orientation is all about getting out and about. Not
only does this take you to the landmark sites of your host country, but
it also gets you into the real world of its everyday life.
Language
Schools - speaking the local lingo
Learning just a few basic phrases can make a huge difference in how your
team members interact within the local culture. South American expeditions
provide excellent Spanish learning opportunities.
Development Projects - making a positive contribution
Project based expeditions enable the team to "give something back"
to the host community and the local environment. They can also provide
a unique insight into the lifestyle of the local culture.
Wilderness Exploration - Adventures to challenge the team
Multi-day treks, bike rides and river trips get your school expedition
away from the mainstream and help develop team dynamics and group skills,
as well as offering the satisfaction of individual achievements.
And that's not all!
