Week Without Walls (WWW)
China, Hong Kong, Taiwan & Thailand
For many years, a lot of schools define their outdoor activity week as 'week without walls'. A week without walls in its broadest sense, is a week where students can participate in activities outside the school classroom 'walls'. This could include activities such as; service learning, trekking, rock climbing, canoeing, camping and much more. Here at Zen Quest Adventures we strive to make your WWW in China a week your students will remember, where they'll learn and grow as individuals.
Your desired learning outcomes are important to us. We will collaborate with you to create the perfect trip, no matter what it takes. We design our WWW programs with overarching themes, so the whole trip maintains consistent, logical, and progressive themes. Request a sample program today.
A good example of this is our servant leadership program which aims to:
1. Help students learn specific knowledge and skills related to leadership.
2. Enable students to understand the history, values and beliefs of society.
3. Facilitate the development of individual strengths and leadership styles.
4. Facilitate the development of ethics, values and ethical reasoning.
5. Promote awareness, understanding, and tolerance of other people, cultures and societies.
6. Embody high expectations of, confidence in, and respect for the teens served.
An alternative to our WWW, is the micro campus model. Rather than a week, this is an extended period of time the students are away from school, however they can participate in standard classroom activities as well as experiential, outdoor and community based pursuits.
