Our educational travel programs are designed around developing young Australians. Leadership, personal challenge, cultural immersion and responsible travel have been the focus of our educational travel programs for over 15 years. Antipodeans Abroad is the original Australian school expedition company.
Our volunteering programs incorporate sustainable, grassroots projects which will enrich your travels and benefit a small community. Depending on the program volunteers participate for between 4-12 weeks on projects with local people in the areas of education, health care, social work, building and renovation.
Come and meet the other tribes of the world. Share their traditions, hospitality and culture, stay with a local family, contribute to a community project. Discover a world of opportunity. Skills to learn, people to meet, languages to master and trails to follow. Gain understanding and return knowing you have made a difference. The experience will expand your view of the world and your place in it.
What makes Antipodeans Abroad special?
We're passionate about what we do and that energy goes into creating great educational and volunteer travel programs for people.
Education comes in all shapes, sizes and places and doesn’t apply only to school students. The life lessons learnt by the people who go on our trips in leadership, selflessness, decision-making and personal responsibility stay with them for life. Sometimes the most powerful learning experiences happen outside the classroom, lecture hall or office.
Over many years Antipodeans Abroad has built up a solid understanding of peoples' needs and we tailor our programs to suit those changing needs. Whether it's a school expedition to Peru, a French language homestay in France, a cultural visit to the Colosseum in Rome, a GapBreak placement in Kenya, a UniBreak nursing placement in Ghana, or a career break building schools in Borneo, we will provide you with a valuable learning experience.
We explore the common bonds between communities and cultures. Our journeys promote understanding and tolerance through volunteer travel overseas. We believe wholeheartedly in what we do and that is reflected in the creation of valuable overseas volunteer programs.
In all destinations we partner with local people and non-government organisations that oversee our grassroots projects. Our partnerships are built on mutual trust over many years. These projects are designed for the benefit of both the communities in which they operate and also the travellers who are welcomed into those communities. It is a unique relationship which requires respect and understanding on all sides.
