Exciting young hearts and minds

Challenge Overview

Experience an unforgettable adventure in Mae Sariang, Thailand, where you’ll be able to make a real difference inspiring local children to develop their climate awareness.

You’ll work with your team and other community members to deliver workshops on environmental sustainability. Our hope is to improve awareness of environmental issues and teach practical things children can do to protect their natural environment. Topics might include recycling, safe waste management, water use, climate change and sustainability.

  • Deliver workshops on climate change, waste management and the 5 R's
  • Participate in tree planting and lead community clean-ups
  • Run practical sessions, such as making eco-bricks

Improve education quality

Develop critical thinking

You’ll get the opportunity to grow as a Global Citizen as you run workshops and activities designed to inspire local students to think about their environment in a sustainable way. You’ll develop cultural and global awareness, boost your confidence and gain a long list of transferable skills.

It’s not all work and no play – you’ll have plenty of free time during your evenings and weekends to explore the local area! You may also like to visit the beautiful city of Chiang Mai over a weekend.

 

“Volunteering in Thailand has been an incredible experience that’s helped me grow so much. Working at the Elephant Nature Park was physically challenging, but it was such a fun and welcoming environment. I feel really inspired knowing that what we’ve done has contributed to a much wider positive impact.”

An average day
on the project

Expect the unexpected! There’s only so much you can do to prepare before you arrive in Chiang Mai. You’ll need to be flexible and to think on your feet during the programme. The nature of working in a developing country like Thailand means that plans can also change at the last minute and each day might not turn out how you expected it to – but this is all part of the challenge!
