GROUND’s cultural exploration programs are a great way for students to gain an in-depth understanding of the countries and communities they visit.

GROUND always works with local guides, our groups usually stay at locally owned homestays and guest houses, and eat local foods prepared by people in the villages that we visit throughout our programs. This not only creates a more authentic experience for our student groups, but also means that local communities benefit from tourism in a responsible and sustainable way.

For a fully immersive experience they pair particularly well with our service learning projects.
