Why choose The Gambia for your school or college trip?
The Gambia is a fascinating country that is sure to inspire and educate students in a multitude of ways. There are many aspects of the school curriculum that resonate with the culture and ways of life in The Gambia. The country boasts beautiful African art, alongside fascinating religious culture with special places of worship and religious practice.
Students will be able to understand the impacts of climate change on the country's seasons and environment, with a focus on the coast, fishing, weather and water. With tourism being one of The Gambia's main industries, it is a great insight for students to be able to understand how sustainable development is occurring in the country.
Students can witness family life and compare their homes to that of a typical residential area in The Gambia and they will have the opportunity to meet and converse with locals and visit a local school. The contrasts between food, lifestyles, wants and needs are fascinating, with issues around poverty and the developing world playing an important part in understanding these cultures.
Volunteering
There are many individuals and charities assisting school, wildlife conservation and social welfare projects in The Gambia. If your school group is looking to get involved with a charity or project, our team can assist with getting this organised.
Partnered schools
The Gambia Experience has assisted with several links between schools, colleges and universities in the UK and The Gambia. Our team can provide support to teachers looking to develop a partnership with a Gambian school. Partnering with a school in The Gambia is a great way for students to learn about education in a developing country, as well as to have a charitable project to support. It can also help to establish strong ties and years of continuing exchange visits. If carried out correctly, partnerships can have great impact on both schools involved with the partnership, it is highly regarded as a way of promoting student development and global understanding.
