community cohesion project
(South America)
This is one of our most impactful programmes on offer; bringing people from different communities and backgrounds together on a journey of a lifetime!
Leadership in the community is the theme for this journey. Participants will be physically and mentally challenged, discover their full potential and recognise the power they have to positively influence our communities.
Service; Personal & Leadership Development; Physical Challenge
This is where we live and breath community cohesion.
Opportunities are made for individuals to explore ideals, practices and living values locally and globally. Wherever we go, on the trail or en-route in a village or city we will stop.... listen... talk... smell... taste... touch...
Young people will be partnered with an appropriate community mentor and together they embark on a journey of a life time covering all aspects of personal and leadership growth.
After an intensive training programme in the UK we undertake an expedition from the Andes to the Amazon. We share our expertise and engage in service projects with communities we meet along the way.
Participants will raise funds to contribute towards the international expedition. Along with the support of your mentor we have dedicated time to teach and coach fund-raising techniques. This has proven to be extremely rewarding as participants confidently present themselves to potential funders.
To ensure we are adequately prepared physically and psychologically participants will be expected to attend all modules prior to our international expedition.
We offer a closing ceremony that consolidates this powerful experience. It is an opportunity for individuals to celebrate their achievements and to recognise others for their contribution.
