Community Service
While this program spans multiple countries and emphasizes travel, learning and immersion, meaningful community service is at the heart of every GLA program. In this program, you’ll lend a hand to a community or organization in need. This could involve an environmental project, assisting at a food pantry or kitchen, or partnering with a local group to support a community initiative. We will select a service project that aligns with the community’s needs as the program session approaches.
Hands-on Learning
In each city you visit, the opportunities to explore and learn are endless. In Barcelona, learn about Gaudi’s architectural masterpieces and prepare your own signature Spanish dishes. Discover why Paris is called the City of Light as you explore the streets along the River Seine. In Venice, learn the age-old craft of creating your own carnival mask guided by a skilled artisan.
Adventure
Travel the European continent by high-speed trains, moving from one mesmerizing city to the next. Ride a bike around Barcelona while admiring all this city has to offer.
