This is an unforgettable community based and cultural experience with a great opportunity to make a difference in the local Balinese community by working in a school or orphanage program. Students have the opportunity to expand their horizons, learn new skills and develop as global citizens. Our programs focus on students uplifting lives in a village community as well as experiencing the beauty and richness of the culture themselves. Our programs uphold the globally acclaimed standards of the International Baccalaureate and other similar educational curricular. Trips can be modified to suit the individual needs and interests of each group. Students will be directly involved in decision making both in planning and during the trip leading to positive outcomes.
Week day mornings students will have the opportunity to work in a local school or orphanage on specific projects such as teaching skills eg sport, games, computer or development eg painting or gardening projects. This interaction will directly impact the lives of children and families in the local community.
In the afternoons students will be involved in many cultural experiences such as cooking, instrument making, cultural dances and visiting local villages and markets. A visit to the local dog refuge centre is also included. They will also be able to experience some of Bali’s beautiful sights such as The Monkey Forest in Ubud, Kintamani Volcano and a boat trip to Turtle Island.
The evenings will involve cultural feasts and dances, relaxing and star gazing.
Accomodation is in THE GRAND BALI NUSA DUA which is situated only 5 minutes drive from the local primary school which is SD NO 7 NUSA DUA. The hotel is located on the hillside and blends Bali’s rich cultural heritage with modern comforts.
