Literacy Leaders to join our island of wellbeing
Just as no person is an island, our wellbeing is interconnected with all aspects of life. By piecing together our puzzling world step by step, through exploration and appreciation of our relationships and environments, we navigate our journeys to wellbeing.
​​​​​
So, are you ready to let your next island journey reveal how we might sustain our wellbeing, living a balanced life by being mindful of our health, environments, and communities? Now, imagine...
Islands of wellbeing
It's time to talk about self-sustainability
Dedicated to promoting wellbeing literacy worldwide, our team provides quality experiential learning experiences with and by curious people like you.
​
Self-sustained wellbeing is about living in a way that allows us and our communities to thrive independently. It means maintaining good health, protecting the environment, and building strong social connections. It's also about valuing and preserving cultural heritage and connections across human diversity.
​
In its essence, self-sustained wellbeing is about achieving a balanced and fulfilling life by being mindful of our health, the environment, and our community, all while staying true to our cultural roots and being curious about others'.​ With this in mind, we explore the vital aspects of wellbeing to better understand that the journeys of wellbeing can be complex and challenging.

Work together with peers and the local community.

Discover and be curious about local traditions, ask questions, show respect, and be open to learn from others.
-
Aim to make a positive impact through your actions, both during and after the programme.

Remember. It's not just another trip like your previous vacation or exchange. This is your opportunity to dive into sustainable living, build self-resilience, and form deep connections.
