What Skills Will Students Develop?

Students on these School Expeditions will not only experience first-hand the work our in-country partners are doing to promote sustainable international development practices in Tanzania, but they’ll also develop their own interpersonal skills and capacity to learn about and appreciate other cultural perspectives.

Our schools programme places a special emphasis on encouraging students to recognise the diverse and complex challenges faced by communities all over the world.

We are always seeking to encourage our volunteers to consider how the actions of both the individual and the collective can affect others within the global community.

Students will:

** become active global citizens with a deeper respect for the role they can play in the world

** develop leadership skills, becoming more confident and responsible people who feel empowered to be part of the change they seek for future generations

** actively engage with global issues and use teamwork to discuss potential solutions and improvements to and for these challenges

** build strong peer-to-peer and cross cultural connections as they get their hands dirty working alongside our in-country team and local community members to mix cement and help build the foundations of a home

** be challenged to become ambassadors and advocates for change, supporting the work that in-country organisations are doing as an ally when they get back home

** play a supporting role in making a practical and functional difference in the lives of marginalised children and families in Moshi

** experience another culture and learn interpersonal skills from collaborating with local people and engaging with different socio-cultural perspectives.
