This two-part webinar series is designed to help students feel prepared, excited, and ready to travel with purpose.<\/p>\n<p>It helps students understand the ripple effect of their travel choices, how to explore the world sustainably, and how to leave every place better than they found it.<\/p>\n<p>We are also open about the fact that overseas travel creates carbon emissions. Rather than avoiding that reality, we invite students to share in the responsibility of understanding and reducing their impact. By recognising the footprint of travel and having these open and honest conversations, Responsible Traveller Training encourages awareness, accountability, and positive action from the very start.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"c-content-block content-block content-section \"\n        >\n    <div class=\"container user-content container--small\">\n        <h2><strong>What Is Responsible Traveller Training?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Our Responsible Traveller Training Programme is a set of two online webinars that students complete before their expedition.

It helps students recognise the ripple effect of their travel choices and encourages them to leave a positive legacy wherever they go. It aims to teach students to support ethical choices when it comes to travelling overseas, and sets them up for success into the future.<\/p>\n<p>By learning how to travel sustainably and engage thoughtfully with local communities, students are not only preparing for an expedition, they are preparing for a lifetime of responsible global citizenship.<\/p>\n<p>However, responsible travel is not only about what students learn before departure, but also about how our expeditions are designed. Over time, itineraries have been carefully adapted to reduce carbon emissions wherever possible, from the way camps operate to how project work is delivered in country. In many cases, students actually live more sustainably on expedition than they do at home, using less energy, consuming fewer resources and embracing simpler, community-based living. By working alongside students in this way, we are continually striving to improve our own environmental response and ensure that together, we leave a lighter footprint on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.campsinternational.com\/blog\/preparing-for-your-expedition\/\">preparing for your expedition<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"c-post-cta post-cta content-section\"\n        >\n    <div class=\"post-cta__container container container--small\">\n        <div class=\"post-cta__inner\">\n            <div class=\"user-content\">\n                <p style=\"text-align: center;\">Real World Studies is Camps International\u2019s award-winning educational programme that bridges classroom learning with real-world experiences.
