In Peru, schools often suffer from underfunding and limited hands-on learning. This, along with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, has significantly impacted the learning environment at our local partner schools. As we work to improve education quality and create a more conducive learning environment, your skills, knowledge and passion are vital to this program!
Education builds the foundation of what we do across our Global Community. By improving access to quality education, we hope to inspire a new generation of decision-makers amongst the local community. Supported by our team on the ground, 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 inspired in their education!
Working on a renovation project at one of our partner schools with the aim of creating a safer and more inspiring learning environment. You could be painting an educational mural, renovating a playground, creating a library, installing a hand-washing station and more!
While you're in Peru, it makes sense to tick Machu Picchu off your bucket list!
The Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu, a truly once in a lifetime experience... On this 5-day trek you'll walk more than 70km and reach an altitude of 4600m above sea level as you make your way to South America's most famous landmark. You'll see Humantay Lake, cross Salkantay Mountain and pass through cloud forests before reaching Machu Picchu. This is the perfect way to end your Global Citizenship adventure with your new friends for life!
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. Not only will you feel a great sense of achievement, but it's an experience that's guaranteed to make you stand out in any future employment opportunity.
