Our educational programs for schools provide learning experiences that promote self-awareness, intercultural communication, civic engagement and social responsibility. We are very clear about what we do and don’t do! If you’re after an expensive, 2-3 week travel program with unskilled student volunteering, there are large travel companies available to support you. But if ethical, community partnerships, mindfulness and measurable, life-changing results are important to you… you’ve come to the right place.

Our program curriculum has been carefully designed by experienced teachers to integrate with the current Australian Curriculum and the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. Each program is designed to be unique to your school and can incorporate specific curriculum content.

Health and Safety:

All of Destination Dreaming programs are underpinned by a detailed risk management program, which is continually reviewed, updated, and customised to each individual program. Our Program Leaders are experienced educators, global health professionals and/or community development workers. They are supported by a 24 hour management and operations team throughout each program. 

All programs involve a detailed evaluation component to ensure outcomes are measurable and lead to meaningful, lasting development at an individual and community level.
