Projects Abroad

school trips 2026/2027

Since 1992, Projects Abroad has created international travel experiences that help students discover who they are, what they are capable of, and how they can contribute in the world.

Our programmes span more than 25 destinations and combine learning, cultural immersion, and responsible partnership with local communities.

From Nepal and Tanzania to Costa Rica, the Galápagos, and Cambodia, students work alongside local professionals, organisations, and communities on initiatives that already exist and continue long-term.

Activities are designed to be appropriate, respectful, and genuinely beneficial, while allowing students to see how responsible global work happens in practice.

Why choose Projects Abroad for your next school trip?

At Projects Abroad, we make it easy for you to deliver safe, supported, and educationally-enriching experiences overseas. With full end-to-end support - from logistics and risk assessments to on-the-ground supervision and 24/7 safety support - we take care of the details so you can focus on your students’ personal and academic growth.

We are deeply committed to the idea that travel should be as educational as it is adventurous. That’s why we’ve developed our Global Citizenship Framework that provides the educational foundation behind every trip we offer. Aligned with UNESCO’s Global Citizenship Education, it ensures every experience contributes to developing students’ perspective, awareness, and responsibility. Each trip is designed around clear learning outcomes, supporting key competencies including intercultural understanding, perspective-taking, collaboration, and responsible action.

Ready to start planning an unforgettable educational journey? Reach out to our Partnership Manager today to tailor a meaningful, professionally-led experience for your next school trip.
