Why Our Educational Trips are Different
Understanding global issues, war and peace is a challenge. We believe in experiential learning without violence. Participants on our student travel program acquire skills for transforming awareness of the world into opportunities for positive change. Our travelers learn what happened, how to make better choices, how to innovate answers for the future. Our trips teach about the human, environmental, economic consequences of war—and the riches of peace. Join us…and give your students a chance to become ethical, engaged citizens of a global community.

Travel For Free With Your Students
Become a part of a life-changing experience that not only strengthens the bond between student and teacher, but also narrows the gap between local and global awareness. Our educational student travel programs are different. Peace Works Travel offers socially-conscious education abroad in countries healing from history. How do we teach young people about the complex issues surrounding war and peace? We believe in radical empathy: experiential learning without violence inspires ethical citizenship. Students acquire skills for transforming awareness of the world into opportunities for positive change. Our travelers learn what happened, how to make better choices, and how to innovate solutions for the future. Our programs teach the human, environmental, economic consequences of conflict—and the riches of peace. As a teacher traveling abroad, we invite you to discover just how far your lessons can reach with this opportunity of free travel for teachers.
Lead Life Lessons:
Give your students the opportunity to innovate solutions to global issues through meaningful educational travel. We provide cultural and historical curriculum for each destination to ensure your travelers are knowledgeable in advance of arrival. Teachers may choose academic areas of emphasis from our travel program themes. Each trip includes the opportunity to connect electronically with local students you will meet in your destination. Our connectivity with the nation’s locals begins pre-departure, creates meaningful insider’s experiences during travel, and fosters positive action upon re-entry home.
Tangible Impact
Our student travelers return knowledgeable and impassioned to innovate change. Inspired by their expanded awareness and confident in their capacity to make a difference, our travelers have created socially-minded enterprises on their own volition: compelling documentary films, issue-based community-organizing, NGO fundraising campaigns, and non-profit development. Check out our student videos of exceptional student projects.
Let’s Make Peace Work Together
We each have a role in our work for a better world. As an educator, your focus is to connect with your students. Our work is to support your educational teacher travel experience with logistics, curriculum, registration, and risk management. Your group will enjoy a dedicated portal on our website for easy document management and communications. We deliver chaperone binders with all your group travel information within 30 days of departure.
