People-Centered Experiences

We believe that educational travel should be rooted in hands-on learning and deep connections with local people and communities. Our unique approach to community-centered travel places people at the heart of our programs. From business and community leaders to sustainable farmers, artists, educators, Indigenous activists, youth leaders, and entrepreneurs, our programs’ most powerful learning moments come from the people our students spend time with—in community!

Hands-On Learning & Leadership Development

Leadership development is an integral part of all of our programs, specifically fostering the 3Cs—Courage, Commitment, and Compassion—through hands-on activities like Leader of the Day, Community Action Projects, nightly meetings, travel journaling, self-reflection, and feedback and coaching from peers and Global Glimpse staff.
