Student Challenges

As educators, we understand the intrinsic role reflection and long-term, sustainable engagement play within pedagogical philosophy. We therefore integrate reflection workshops and CAS Project Challenge within each student tour. Moreover, believing that sustainable travel and global experiences should be available to all, regardless of economic circumstances, we are also pleased to offer the Ross Duran Financial Scholarship to qualifying students.

The following 3 Student Challenges aim to motivate our travelers to “think global, act local”, ensuring sustainable, lifelong learning beyond high school:

The Reflection
Center

Reflections are an important part of all CAS Trips and we therefore ask participants to create a post-trip reflection about the challenges they experienced. The reflections can be in the form of written diary entries, poems, songs or a creative video, PowerPoint presentation or a piece of art – the sky is your limit!

The CAS Project Challenge

During your CAS Trip, you will learn about the UN SDGs  and how to organize and engage in a long-term collaborative CAS Project that will have a positive impact on your community back home.

Ross Duran Scholarship

The Ross Duran Scholarship will allow students to attend one of our Global Student Exchanges, where they will meet other students from around the globe and experience specially curated activities, creative expression, and service opportunities together.
