We just landed back in Sydney from our amazing adventure in India! 170 million years ago we were neighbours, now we’re friends across the sea. Until next time 🧡🤍💚
Thank you to the 20 students who’ve been absolutely amazing! Always respectful, engaged, asking thoughtful questions & participating fully! It’s a real privilege to assist students on this learning journey & I look forward to seeing how they apply this experience going forward!
…get to engage w/ & learn from ppl & places they wouldn’t be able to on their own. Sustainable, small scale tourism embedded in an experiential learning framework can have a powerful impact on how students understand & see a complex changing world.
This trip would not be possible without our partnership w/ @D_Endeavours & @dakshin_seas! Their passion for conservation & social justice alongside their approach to establishing long-term, ethical & reciprocal relationships w/ communities & community orgs means our students…
I’m always blown away by the power of song, dance & food to bridge cultures & language barriers! Tonight we had the privilege of dancing & singing w/ the Soliga community: “we now have shared memories”.
Part 2: The students presented their fieldtrip learnings. This trip is all about hearing from different perspectives & understanding how complex the conservation & colonial landscape is!
Day 13 - Part 1: Early safari w/ a very special tiger sighting. Nicknamed the lantana safari - this experience was particularly unique! Tradition dictates (from the 1st group who saw a king cobra), that those who saw the tiger are now obligated to get a tattoo of one 🐅!
Part 5: We finished off the day w/ students working in groups to prepare for their presentations tomorrow! Time to bring together threads of complexity across a number of key themes!
