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 Slovakia awaits
Take an overseas school trip to Slovakia, a small country with a big sense of adventure. Nestled in Central Europe, Slovakia is a land of rugged mountains, medieval castles, and rich cultural traditions waiting to be explored. This overseas school trip takes you beyond the tourist trail, offering a deeper connection with its history and natural beauty.
Climb high peaks, raft down wild rivers, and wander through ancient mining towns full of hidden stories. Discover fairytale castles, trek through national parks, and experience the warmth of the local hospitality. On this student adventure, indulge in local delights, smother your pancakes with apricot jam, chow down on fried cheese, and embrace the country’s vibrant culture.
This school expedition is more than just an adventure, it’s an opportunity to develop resilience, explore new landscapes, and gain a deeper understanding of the country’s fascinating heritage. Are you ready for the adventure of a lifetime?
“ The whole experience from start to finish was the best I've ever had. We met so many amazing people who changed our outlook on life when we arrived home.”
