WHAT WE DO
We create and execute world class Experiential and Educational Expeditions for students and their teachers.
We do not do tourism; by empowering and engaging students in local cultures and communities, we go much beyond.
At E&E, we provide life long learning experiences that bring out the best in kids. Our unique approach and the careful help of our Experiential Educators will provide ownership of the experience by each participant. Students don’t merely follow; they participate and lead.
Learning may be ephemeral. But Experiential Education endures and it should leave an impression on a student, like footprints in the sand that can never be washed away.
OUR UNIQUE APPROACH
Travel with more than guides. Our Experiential Educators will create a bond and a trusting environment between them, the students, and the locals. They encourage expanding each student’s comfort zone.
We believe the educators you travel with really do matter!

WE ARE INTENTIONAL
Itineraries are intentionally balanced and woven, Furthermore, our experiential educators are constantly connecting elements, activities, people, places. Students are then challenged to pick up the “bread crumbs” and make meaningful connections.
Through our Story Approach, guides purposely present information in context, through local or alternative points of view. We provide context and meaning, empowering students to connect all of the diverse elements they will experience and relate them to their own experiences.
Students can better connect the dots and own the story.

ADOPTING THE CULTURE
Experiencing new customs and meeting locals eager to engage young people in their remarkable stories helps to make a place come to life. It allows the sensible traveler to adopt and even become part of this culture, bringing it back and changing one’s vision of the world.
Through E&E, you will meet local visionaries. Whether by crafting artisan guitars or advocating for the environment, these local visionaries are not only inspired and interested, but inspiring and Interesting.
Engaging with and understanding locals leads to a meaningful experience, which in turns provides personal growth as a human being.
SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT!
We are dedicated to creating a culture of safety in all aspects of our trip. The safety of students and teachers, as well as our staff and employees, is paramount. Risk Management does not stand by itself – it is deeply embedded into our Expedition Mentality and into every aspect of the expedition, from the careful planning and creation of the location specific safety protocols and continuing with ownership of a safety culture by each individual and participant.
Safety is paramount, planning and careful preparation is key
