¡Educational travel is so much more than sightseeing. It’s a transformative experience that can mold students into well-rounded and insightful leaders of the future.
Recently, one class from East Three Secondary School in Inuvik discovered the benefits of a student travel experience on an EF tour to Europe to deepen their understanding of the Holocaust. Beyond the sightseeing and cultural immersion, the trip offered opportunities to build a foundation of skills and perspectives that are crucial in becoming future leaders, while creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Teacher and Group Leader Gene Jenks describes the impact this trip had on the students: “They began as activists. Now they’re leaders, and they’re going to take so much of what they brought from this trip and bring it to all areas of the world in every capacity… and that really, really excites me.”
