Which Curriculum Subjects do you cater for?
Citizenship
During this conservation programme, students will learn about the issues facing wildlife in Nepal and educate the local children about the importance of protecting animals. This helps bring to life real issues and shows the group they have agency as global citizens to be able to make a difference where change is needed.
Cultural
During your stay, students will be fully immersed in the vibrant Nepali culture. Our local team will walk you through cultural training to provide you with the basic customs knowledge you will need. Students will also take part in traditional dance classes, cooking lessons and other cultural activities to ensure they live the full Nepali experience.

Who are Projects Abroad?
Projects Abroad was founded in 1992 by Dr Peter Slowe, a geography professor at the University of Chichester. Wanting to explore former Soviet countries after the collapse of the Soviet Union, he founded Projects Abroad. Soon after, volunteers began travelling to Romania to teach and the company has continued to grow ever since.
Hundreds of thousands of volunteers have travelled with us over the years. Join us on our Rhino Conservation Programme in Nepal and conduct research, protect vulnerable animals and raise awareness about protecting the environment.
Taking part in our conservation programme, students can expect to learn a wide variety of skills and leave with an abundance of new knowledge.
