As they say, "When you travel, the more you see the more you know you haven't". We were lucky to have come across Global citizens as it has proved to be the right platform for virtual travel for kids and young adults.

The diverse topics covered has not only given wonderful travel experience to young minds, but has also given them an opportunity to know that travel is much more than sight seeing.

The sessions include cultural and historical importance of main cities. Apart from that, Interactive sessions, book and movie reviews, games, budgeting, role plays, cooking competition for foodies, music for music lovers, were some of the highlights of the programme. Would give a five star to Global Citizens of Tomorrow, looking forward to being a part of many more trips..

Each virtual travel adventure is a 60-minute session.

Every batch is mindfully restricted to a maximum of 12-14 young travellers in order to maintain high interaction levels, with individual attention to each child’s progress.

Aspiring GCTians should be within the age bracket of 8 to 14 years. They must adhere to our ground rules, and be prepared for an adventure like no other!

Parents are welcome to attend our sessions, however off camera, as the focus is meant to be on the children developing their confidence and interpersonal skills in their own individual capacities. The last session is meant specially for the parents where they will be witness to the presentations that our young travellers have worked on with their team mates, to experience first-hand, the growth of their ward as a GCTian.
