India Study Tour 2012
18 August - 1 September 2012
This two week trip to southern India will give geography teachers the chance to experience rural and urban life, art, culture, heritage and wildlife in this diverse region.
You'll spend the first part of the tour at the Sangam Education Centre where you'll explore the local village and find out about life in a changing rural settlement. You'll be able to try your hand at traditional arts and crafts like pottery, mandala making and mural painting. You'll also spend two days in Bangalore, a short drive from the Centre, where you'll discover a modern, vibrant and rapidly growing city.
During the second part of the tour you'll stay in the former hunting lodge of a Maharaja on the fringes of the Nagarhole National Park where elephants, leopards and tigers roam free. You'll also spend two nights in an eco-lodge at the Rainforest Retreat, a unique project that combines eco-tourism with sustainable agriculture and environmental education.
