International education should inspire, challenge and change you. 

​

There are plenty of "best practice" resources and conferences to help you design, manage, facilitate and evaluate global education programs, but these rarely address your particular needs and vision. Too often, facilitators use the same skills they employ in the classroom or office, the curriculum lacks the flexibility to foster personal growth, and the evaluation fails to capture real change. Participants may have a good time, but they are rarely asked to think critically about power dynamics. They return from the program with a view that we are all essentially the same despite a few surface level differences.

We believe this is a missed opportunity.

 
Transformative Travel Consulting provides customized planning, design, training, and evaluation services to create, strengthen, and expand your international education programs. We help go beyond a glimpse into a foreign culture to a deep encounter with difference that leaves a lasting impact by prioritizing your goals and the transformative learning process. We also bring the necessary field perspective to help you prepare for and navigate the challenges of international education experiences.

​

We believe global education must provide an in-depth exploration of personal and collective values as well as address injustice, inequality, and privilege in order to live up to its potential. When they are missing these essential pieces, global education programs run the risk of perpetuating stereotypes, oversimplifying complex cultures, and falling short of the

life-changing potential of what is possible - ultimately failing our learners.  

 

We will help you create, strengthen, and expand programs that inspire and promote change.
