rainforest trips
|
Since 1999, I have supported and led regular educational trips to the South American rainforests. Aimed primarily at education practitioners, these trips have also involved professionals from other fields including business and industry.
The two-week itinerary, in either Ecuador or Peru, includes treks and tours that explore the ecology, geology, history and culture of the region. We also visit local schools, rural communities and eco-projects, and participate in craft and food workshops. In the evenings we enjoy social activities and discussions on environment and education issues. Those that join us describe the trip as a life-changing experience. The rainforest trips are organised in collaboration with Plan-It Eco and Original Ecuador. |
