Travelling To Teach

Summer Holiday programme for Teachers

This is an exciting new summer travel programme aimed specifically at teachers across the UK.

The UK has thousands of dedicated and inspiring teachers who all have the power to really change lives, and we have specially designed Travelling to Teach Summer Holiday Programmes to allow teachers to use their existing skills to benefit underprivileged children abroad during the long summer break.

Who are we looking for?

Travelling to Teach is open to all qualified teachers, English language teachers and those with an aptitude for drama, arts and crafts, music or sport.

The children are keen to learn new skills and Travelling to Teach volunteers will learn huge amounts from them also - this really is a once in a lifetime opportunity and one that could change lives.

Travelling to Teach 2008 - What's involved?

Travelling to Teach 2008 will work with a number of charity schools in India which provide education to children from some of the poorest backgrounds and really need help and support.

Travelling to Teach 2008 is a three week long trip which will see 20 teachers visit and work in a school in India, educating the local children and working with the existing teaching staff.
