Global Works

I could not have been happier with my Global Works experience! Everything from the first day name games to the good-byes went smoothly. Everyone attending had an excellent attitude towards learning a new language and learning more about themselves. Because of this trip, I am far more confident than I could have ever imagined, and I can't wait to bring my new confidence and knowledge to other parts of my life.

As usual, Global Works orchestrated an excellent experience! I learned about the native people of New Zealand, how to travel with others who are not like me, and life in a third world county. The people of both places were kind, but the love I was shown in Fiji was like nothing I had ever experienced before. The leaders were fantastic and diverse! The only unpleasant part of my trip were my peers. Although I was friends with some of them, most of them were suffering from acute cases of affluenza. Global Works is a fantastic company, but if you want to travel with a really dedicated group of people, take an immersion trip to somewhere that will only be appealing to real travelers, like the month long language immersion trips or any of true trips to developing countries.

This is a parent review of France: Language and Leadership from July 5-July 20, 2016. My 16 year-old son, who is a native English speaker has been taking French since first grade. We had been to France twice with him but a few days traveling as tourists was not enough to practice his French and to get to know the culture intimately and deeply. Global Works provided him not just the full immersion in the language but it also offered him a glimpse of what life in Carcassonne, a quaint, medieval, picturesque town in Southern France was like. Not only did he immersed himself in the language but Global Works' experienced staff led him and his group to service learning through environmental reclamation and working in a summer camp for French children! Specifically, my husband and I enjoyed reading the travel blogs provided on Global Works' website. The pictures on the blog were also quite precious since it provided us an idea about what the program was really about. Overall, he thoroughly had a great time and we, as parents are quite satisfied with how Global Works provided him with a meaningful, productive and memorable summer!
