School Trips Change Lives Campaign

The Global School Alliance’s latest campaign details the importance of life-changing, immersive international school trips for students and staff. Inspired by the stories of colleagues, educators and students, we will highlight some of the most transformational stories.

We are proud and delighted to work with thousands of schools internationally to develop the essential skills, knowledge and experiences for students that will truly transform lives. We do this through our global transformation programme that connects the planet in partnerships, online exchanges and international student trips.

We recognise the life-changing benefits of immersive school trips and are passionate about making these experiences more accessible for your students and staff. That’s why we are offering 20 reimbursable school places on the Global School Transformation programme for Spring 2023.

As a Multi Academy Trust, Partnership or School Group, you can develop a strategy for all of your schools and centralise a shared approach to internationalism.

The Global School Transformation programme provides a three-stage framework for schools to build and develop a whole-school approach to embedding global dimensions in their curriculum and ethos. It has a whole school impact on school improvement and professional development for international coordinators, and it gives young people the experiences to help boost their confidence and interpersonal skills. No matter what stage you’re at on your international journey, this exciting programme combines every element of developing globalisation, citizenship and cultural capital into an easy-to-follow, comprehensive whole-school programme.

Based on the Global School Awards & Accreditation pathway, this programme is the most direct route to becoming a ‘Gold Accredited School’ – taking schools from planning, training and qualifying staff members through establishing online partnerships, collaborations and international visits.

Once the school has reached the ‘Gold’ criteria, the cost of the programme will be fully reimbursed – making it the most affordable global school improvement programme.
