20 Teachers. 15 Days. 11 Locations. 1 Mission.
How do extraordinary experiences for teachers translate into extraordinary experiences for their students? How can close encounters with the deep power of the natural world and our connection to it change a teacher’s worldview, and change their students lives?
The intent of the Inspire Me! film series is to address these questions, celebrate the art of teaching, and to serve as a powerful call-to-action through experiences. “Inspire Me! Africa” carries the theme of life-changing experience through a 2-week trip to Africa.
Adventures Within Reach was excited to host 20 American teachers as they climb Kilimanjaro, the highest peak on the African continent, go on safari to explore the fabled lands of the Serengeti, visit Tanzanian school-children and African aids orphans as they seek understanding for themselves and their students of an increasingly interconnected globalized world and the inspiration that each of us must be stewards of the planet and each other.
Over the years, AWR has organized five trips for the Experiential Science Education Research Collaborative (XSci) out of the University of Colorado-Denver to Africa and South America. This trailer is great overview of the Tanzania experience!
