Application for Canada Study Tour (8th edition)
24th April – 10th May 2024

What is Canada Study Tour?

With the study tour, you will not only visit two Canadian provinces, see major Canadian universities and high schools, but mostly learn about Canadian leadership programs through study visits to the major Canadian universities, institutions of Canada, a leadership camp, and take part in the ‘Global Student Leadership Summit’ (GSLS).

You will travel to Toronto, London, Niagara Falls, Vancouver, Victoria as well as to other Canadian cities in Ontario and British Columbia.

You will join the Canadian students at one of the High schools in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, sit in on class and talk with older students about their life goals. You will also have the unforgettable experience of billeting with a Canadian family and meeting new lifelong friends from different cultural backgrounds.

You will get in touch with university teachers from Canada for classes, workshops, evening activities, and private meetings!

Additionally, you will have the exceptional opportunity to receive briefings from and exchange views with motivational speakers, academic teachers, and leadership teachers from high school in Canada, as well as representatives of other Canadian organizations and institutions.

You will go through unique experience of taking part in Canadian leadership conference and learn to surpass the challenges by interacting with other international students.

You will also take part in the leadership training organized by Young Leaders. World at the University of Victoria on Vancouver Island and work on with Enneagram with a professional Canadian coach Anna Cuglietta. The Enneagram is a personality tool that can help young people better understand themselves and others. By identifying their unique personality type, young people can gain insights into their strengths, weaknesses, and patterns of behavior. This self-awareness can help them make better decisions, communicate effectively, and navigate relationships more successfully. Additionally, the Enneagram can help young people develop empathy and compassion for others,  and appreciate the diversity of personalities around them.

You will also have the possibility to take part in the Kindness and Empathy course organized by professional coach in Canada – Melissa Hoffort. You will learn to work with different types of cultures and learn to embrace cultural diversity in Canada.

The study tour is an excellent educational and career opportunity: it is less a ‘course’ than a learning immersion in Canada and global leadership, a program which supports positive, energetic, creative, helpful, kind and independent students.

You will also make long-lasting friendships and what is more, you would love Canada so much that later it is going to be your favorite place in the world, where you feel happy and wish to come back very fast.

What is the duration and what will it cost?

The study tour is almost three weeks, and the fee for the whole study tour period – including transportation between Canadian cities, flight ticket to Canada, the student leadership conference ticket, hotel accommodation, a leadership camp in Canada, leadership workshops, universities campus tours, and sightseeing in Canada, will be finalized always before the tour* but may be approximately 11 000 -12 000 zl. Although consumption and needs vary, you can expect to spend $ 15-20 per day on meals and incidentals, or transportation in Canadian cities, though the study tour provides some meals too, and family hosting is also provided in Canada during some leadership exchange experience.

* the final price is connected with the dynamic changes in airline industry and the prices of flight tickets, gasoline price today, as well as foreign currency.
