Education

Help empower community change through education

Be part of educational change in remote and regional schools. Share your educational knowledge with local teaching staff and demonstrate engaging classroom strategies.

Many schools in Nepal are chronically under-resourced. Our Education teams and local teachers create educational materials that encourage student-centred learning. Volunteers then team-teach and guide their use in the classroom.

Our team members are students, teachers, aides, retired educators and volunteers wanting to inspire change.

Are you ready to make a difference in a regional or remote community school?

Sustainable Development Goals

Our EducationTeams are committed to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with our partners
and on our projects.

UPCOMING EXPEDITION

2023 NEW YEAR

In Bhalmachuar, the Shree Jana Primary School is a short walk from our camp. You will help teachers create educational materials that encourage student-centred learning and use within the Nepali curriculum.

Through team teaching, you will help demonstrate and guide their use in the classroom, assisting teachers in understanding and practice of new methods and techniques. In addition, you will undertake some ‘train-the-trainer sessions and workshops with our education partner, Global Action Nepal.

For the first time, Education Team volunteers can choose the length of their expedition commitment: 15, 21 or 28 days. You also have the opportunity to spend time working on our Construction and Organic Farm projects.

3rd January 2023 – 17 January 2023

This Expedition is of 15 days duration.

The team is limited to a maximum of 10 volunteers.

Multiple teams could operate on this project if applications exceed this number.

Our friendly Nepali staff will meet you at Tribhuvan International Airport and escort you to our Kathmandu base at the Hotel Thamel.

Once settled in, you can meet members of your team and Expedition staff and explore Kathmandu.

During our welcome and orientation sessions, you will be introduced to the Nepali language and culture and learn further details of your volunteer project. You will meet your team’s Nepali staff and Expedition partners in the evening at our Expedition Welcome dinner.

Practice your Nepali whilst picking up that last-minute item you may need in the streets of Thamel and experience the World Heritage sites of Boudhanath Stupa and Pashupatinath Temple.

It’s the big day. After an early start, you will spend the day travelling to your project site and receive a special welcome from your Nepali community and project partners.

Your project is underway.

It’s time to say goodbye to the community and head back into the Kathmandu valley.

Back in Thamel, this is your chance for last-minute shopping and exploring Kathmandu. 

If you are keen on an Everest Sunrise flight, a visit to Monkey Temple or Durbar Square, want to learn how to make momos or dahl baht back home, or even the best massage before your flight, we can help point you in the right direction.

Say thank you and goodbye to all our Nepali staff, Expedition Leaders and fellow team members at our Farewell dinner on your last night in Nepal.

Our Nepali staff will arrange airport transport for your flight home.
