While hordes of tourists with cameras swarming through rainforests is also obviously not what we want, the more people understand these incredible ecosystems, whether through actually visiting themselves or learning proactively, the better. Only increased awareness of the power and possibility that rainforests create for us can inspire the conviction needed to actually do something - before it's too late.

In 2013, I taught and lived in the favelas of Brazil as a Fund for Teachers Fellow.  Every day, I walked home from school with Nicoli and Charles.  I created this lesson to use in the elementary classroom.  Teachers can create global competence within even the youngest students by sharing how different our walks home from school may be and yet how similar our lives still are.

The Morpho Institute's insight:

You bet!  Respondents to a recent survey think that taking educational trips -- defined as “trips taken with school or family that incorporated learning activities” -- made them more interested in learning and influenced their career choice. And that's enough to make educational trips seem pretty darn powerful.

 

Some of the survey’s more encouraging finds:

89% of survey respondents said educational travel had a “positive impact” on their education and/or career.86% said travel made them more intellectually curious. 80% said travel made them more interested in what they learned at school. 59% said travel helped them get better grades. 52% said travel influenced their career choice.  34% said travel made them a better person. 90% said their trips were educational, fun, engaging and/or inspiring.
