Changing the Perspective on Global Engagement
Introducing ALIVE's New Global Learning Initiative
It's time for a new adventure.
After many nudges over the years, we are excited to be expanding our platform for progress, inner growth, and the hope for a changed future through offering more global experiences. As with all ALIVE programs, everything we do will be thoughtful, and rooted in a collaborative approach. Creating educational experiences that encourage self-reflection by challenging personal beliefs about oneself, others, and society is a bold and engaged endeavour. When executed effectively, it can be incredibly inspiring – changing not only our perspective, but how we define ourselves. Our goal is to be the people you trust in places you don’t know. We’re starting slowly, staying small, listening attentively, and embracing the imperfections needed to foster honest relationships in our pursuit to create authentic and intentional experiences.
Our Global Engagement Perspective
At our core, we are passionate about creating experiences that are second to none. We are not in the business of offering trips to all corners of the planet; rather, we focus on a few specific locations that we believe offer the learning landscapes aligned with our goals and values. Our approach is grounded in ongoing reflection of how we see ourselves and how we want the world to be in the future.
