Vietnam: Environmental Impact
A purpose-driven expedition exploring Vietnam’s rich ecosystems and environmental challenges, where students begin in Ho Chi Minh City with cultural and historical context before journeying into the Mekong Delta to experience life along its vital waterways. The experience deepens through hands-on reforestation work and immersive cultural activities, including local food and coffee traditions, before heading into national parks to trek through rainforests, hike volcanic landscapes and visit wildlife conservation centres. The journey concludes in the Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve, where students explore the vital role of mangroves in biodiversity conservation and climate resilience, all while engaging with local communities and gaining a deeper understanding of sustainability, environmental stewardship and the connection between people and nature.
