Local schools suffer from underfunding, limited hands-on learning (with rote-learning being the prevalent method), and English—a critical subject for advancing to high school and university—is frequently taught by teachers who are not fluent in the language.
This is where YOU come in...
Education builds the foundation of what we do across our Global Community. We believe that the best way to achieve positive change is by providing the next generation with access to quality education. By joining the team on this program, you’ll get to work on a range of awesome long-term education projects, some of which include:
Designing and facilitating conversational English sessions at our local partner to improve the learners' competency and confidence in speaking English!
Engaging learners in STEM Education (science, technology, engineering, maths) and life skills workshops that allow them to learn in a more hands-on environment, develop their critical thinking skills and become more engaged in their education!
Working on an infrastructure project at one of our local partner schools to improve facilities and create a safer, more conducive learning environment for children!
Why not continue your adventure and embark on the epic 5-day Poon Hill trek!
Beginning in Pokhara, you'll have an afternoon to stroll around the lakeside city before getting ready to start your trek the following day. You'll pass through picturesque mountain villages, lush forests and small streams as you make your way to the Poon Hill summit - 3200m above sea level. The Poon Hill lookout has the most incredible panoramic views of the Annapurna ranges that you'll be lucky enough to see at sunrise before beginning your descent, after you've ticked trekking in the highest mountain range in the world off your bucket list!
Although you'll be working in a school setting, we're not expecting you to take on the role of a teacher. So, whether you're studying education, science, engineering or creative arts, this program is perfect for you! Join a team of likeminded people and use your skills, knowledge and passions to make a difference.
Build your own community of people who care and inspire a team of Global Citizens to join you on this epic adventure... become a Challenge Leader! This is your chance to step up as a global leader and showcase your awesome leadership skills.
