Community Service
While this program spans multiple countries and emphasizes travel, learning and immersion, at the heart of every GLA program is meaningful community service. On this program, you will lend a hand to a community or organization in need. This may involve an environmental project, helping at a pantry or food 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
From cutting-edge research at Europe’s most prestigious science facilities to museum exhibits and functional labs, you’ll participate in a variety of hands-on workshops and demonstrations, with concentrations spanning forensics, astrophysics, and transportation. Collect DNA from a fictional crime scene and use molecular techniques to identify the culprit. Experience a day in the life of a scientist at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Explore the mysteries of the universe and learn about the monumental equipment used at CERN, including particle accelerators and detectors.
Adventure
In one of the world’s most scientifically rich regions, adventure awaits at every turn. Experience the timeless glamour of London’s famous West End, a theater district hundreds of years older than Broadway. Enjoy sweeping views of Paris from atop the Eiffel Tower, then explore the Louvre with a scavenger hunt. Stroll through Geneva’s Old Town and savor a special fondue dinner made with locally produced Swiss cheeses. End your journey with a dip in the serene waters of Lake Geneva!
Lodging
Students will have various Home Bases throughout the program due to its travel-focused nature, including youth hostels or hotel blocks. Youth hostels offer dorm-style accommodations with AC, en-suite bathrooms and common areas. All hotels are 3-star, featuring en-suite bathrooms, AC and rooms with 2-6 beds.
