Project Independence
Independent trips for those brave enough to take the road less travelled with a group of like-minded friends.
The project independence team is made up of students from all over the country excited to take the adventure of a lifetime. Running independently of school, you’ll get all the benefits of the training, support and safety of a World Challenge experience with a ready-made team of like-minded young travellers who you’ll get to know in the build up to the trip ahead. Each year, we hand select a list of the very best destinations and have (limited) spots available for those brave young souls ready to take up the challenge. All that’s left to do is choose your destination, sign up and put the dates in your diary.

Your school trip to Ecuador awaits
Ecuador sits slap bang on the equator (the name says it all) in northwest South America. Too intrepid for average tourists, this small country is outrageously beautiful and brimming with culture, from the depths of the Amazon to the heights of the Andes, and from bustling city streets to secret mountain villages.
Buy a Panama hat, pull on your boots and head into the unknown. Enter the jungle, discover Inca ruins and see graceful condors soaring overhead. Trek beneath snow-capped peaks, meet indigenous Andean communities, or head to the Pacific coast to spot humpback whales.
Remember, you’re walking the path towards true global citizenship. Tap into your inner potential, step forward to contribute and absorb everything this trip can teach you about the world and your place within it.
“ We had the most amazing time volunteering at a school in Puerto Lopez, teaching the children games and songs. The clapping game, 'a sailor went to sea sea sea', was a particular favourite!”
Laura, Challenger
