Thailand: Wonders Never End
- Social enterprise and entrepreneurship
- Complexities of conservation
- Local communities and traditions
- Immersion in cultural traditions and influences of modernity
An opportunity to be part of real-world solutions for human-elephant coexistence and sustainable community development, students will work alongside local partners on innovative projects tackling the human-elephant conflict, exploring strategies such as habitat restoration, range expansion, and elephant-friendly farming. Through hands-on participation in social enterprise projects like Bee the Change, The Tom Yum Project, and Alternative Cropping, students will see firsthand how conservation and community livelihoods can thrive together. Experiences like the Elephant ID Safari offer a deeper understanding of elephant behaviour, while Fireside Chats with conservationists provide insight into the challenges and successes of these initiatives. Beyond their work, students can hike through the stunning national parks, then wrap up their journey with the ALIVE program on Thailand’s beautiful coastline, blending environmental action, cultural immersion, and adventure in one unforgettable experience.
Dates: November - April
May – October sees heavy rainfall and may impact travel. March-May can be very hot in Bangkok.

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.
