India: Where Traditions Meet Tomorrow
This immersive journey into the heart of India embraces culture, tradition, and sustainability through hands-on learning and meaningful connections. The experience begins with a cultural exchange at a rural school, where students engage with local peers, sharing perspectives on education, daily life, and traditions. This exchange fosters cross-cultural understanding and offers a glimpse into the role of education in shaping communities.
From there, the journey expands to explore India’s rich cultural and ecological landscapes. Students will gain insight into Ayurvedic medicine, learning how this ancient practice continues to shape health and wellness today. They’ll take part in hands-on activities like coir making, crab farming, and mussel harvesting, experiencing firsthand the sustainable livelihoods that support coastal communities.
As the journey continues into the breathtaking landscapes of rolling hills, tea plantations, and misty valleys, students will visit a working tea plantation, participate in tea plucking, and follow the intricate process from leaf to cup. In the city, they’ll wander through bustling local markets, sampling street food, exploring vibrant stalls, and admiring the stunning architecture of historic temples.
Cultural immersion deepens with traditional Tamil Nadu crafts, local cooking demonstrations, and interactive experiences that showcase the artistry and heritage of the region. Whether learning from local artisans, sharing a meal with community members, or walking through centuries-old streets, students will develop a profound appreciation for India’s dynamic blend of history, innovation, and tradition.

Straight Talk On Service Learning
Are you looking at adding a service learning experience into your program model?
We understand the importance of engaging students with communities through action. The problem with typical service learning is that it can create an incredible power imbalance between the host community and the visitors - often causing more harm than good. We are dedicated to changing the way service learning is thought of, planned for, and engaged in. We believe in learning service and interdependence, small changes in language that has a giant change in values and impact. Ask us more about how we are working to change the typical approach to service.
Programs Designed For Growth
Sharing in the experience adds an important layer to the design of all our Global Learning Programs. We ask every program to share their experience through blogs, video highlights and photo albums. We consolidate and transfer learning through real time engagement.
