Experiential Learning in the Great Outdoors!
Since its inception in 2009, the Global Action Program (GAP) has been part of The International School of Kuala Lumpur鈥檚 (ISKL) High School core curriculum for Grade 9-11 students. They participate in an experiential program where they immerse themselves in various cultural backgrounds and embark on outdoor adventures while sharpening their skills in community partnerships such as service and social entrepreneurship.
Last October, 460 students accompanied by 50 faculty and staff went on 25 itineraries traveling to various parts of East and West Malaysia and countries in the Southeast Asian region, such as Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Each trip has been designed to build the students' awareness of emerging global issues by involving them in various cultural, environmental, and service opportunities within the Southeast Asian region. From building new homes, restoring marine reefs, helping out in jungle nurseries, turtle watching, or reforestation projects along the rivers- GAP truly is a journey of a lifetime.
Thank you to all the trip leads and the GAP team for organizing this fantastic trip.
