Overseas expeditions with The Labyrinth offer far more than the experience of travel. Participants develop valuable communication, teamwork and leadership skills, alongside greater resilience, adaptability, empathy and confidence. By challenging themselves and engaging with communities and real-world issues, students gain a stronger sense of purpose and a broader understanding of local challenges within a global context. These experiences demonstrate initiative and personal growth, qualities highly valued by colleges, universities and employers, and can help strengthen future applications. Students will also have the opportunity to gain an AQA accredited Unit Award Certificate for the projects they participate in. See our website for a more detailed overview.
