The Diversity & innovation Company is collaborating with 2 partners to run a new type of trip to India for pupils aged 16 – 18. The trip gives 6th form pupils the opportunity to combine a 10 day sightseeing trip with one or two Personal Development Modules of 5 days each – designed to develop leadership skills, provide insight into personal strengths and development areas, and provide insights and experiences to assist with university application, 6th form study skills and employment prospects. The first UK schools completed their trips in July 2018 with rave reviews.
The Personal Development Modules are designed for pupils to set a personal challenge and gain a deeper insight into India and themselves as individuals:
