WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE CHALLENGE OURSELVES?
Global Routes programs are designed to maximize the opportunities for students to experience new environments and ways of seeing the world around them. Our philosophical approach to experiential education utilizes learning discovered during ‘challenge,’ and growth uncovered after ‘challenge,’ as a vehicle for student development, skill-building, and personal empowerment.

GROWTH UNFOLDING
Over the course of this Tanzania program, it continues to be our privilege to witness the amazing changes that are taking place in the students – both as individuals and as a group entity.
At the beginning of the program, they arrived as timid strangers. Over the course five weeks, they become more confident and more comfortable with one another and their roles within the group.
It is a joy for our leaders to watch the evolution of the students’ relationships and attitudes toward one another and themselves throughout the program.
