Program Detail

Learning while Traveling

Travelling can teach you things you can never learn in a classroom or textbook. It helps open your mind to new experiences, traditions, cultures, and ethics. Travel is The best way to connect to the world, environment, and soul. You get to observe different people's lives and livelihoods and get inspired. Travelling makes you more accepting and humble, and it makes you a person with a vision. The more you travel and explore, the more you learn.

Travelling makes you leave your comfort zone, go to a new location, get excited, and get a new feeling. When you travel, you get to learn about different cultures, experiences, and traditions. You know to live in the moment. It teaches you to survive on the minimum, and you also learn to live in a humble way in a small hotel or in a community stay. It will make you carefree and teach you to value experiences over materialistic things.

We believe travel is one of the best learning experiences for young people to discover themselves. Travel is a form of peacebuilding, networking, learning, and developing wisdom.
