Skills & Experience Gained

“I’ve gained so much more than I thought I would from this – new friends, new skills, greater confidence to travel and meet people, a more open outlook on life. And of course I saw some amazing sights and scenery.”

Jess Haigh, 2006.

VentureCo’s approach to travel allows you to learn and develop a broad range of both practical and “soft” skills, which will prove invaluable when travelling independently, and in future study or employment.

During Project Galapagos you will find yourself in many situations for the first time, there will be problems in need of solutions and you may find yourself challenged from time to time. These are the experiences that make the Venture so worthwhile and the skills that you develop will last you a lifetime! Here are just some examples of what Project Galapagos could do for you!

• Develop your environmental awareness and see how conservation work, community needs and eco-tourism have to work hand-in-hand for the best possible outcome.
• Develop practical construction skills and experience on the building projects.
• Acquire project management skills, working to a defined budget and timescale.
• Improve your communication skills as you liaise with the project co-ordinator, local craftsmen and the rest of your team.
• Bushcraft: Learn how to travel responsibility, causing the minimum disruption to communities and habitats.
• Learn about the unique fauna and flora and unusual wildlife of the Galapagos Islands
• Learn about safety and hygiene whilst in the field.
• Play you part and be a team player!
• Learn about campcraft: setting, managing and striking camps so that the environment doesn’t know you were ever there! [click here to learn about VentureCo's Responsible Travel policy]
