GROUP TRAVEL

·       ADVANTAGES

There are many advantages to traveling with a group. First, you will meet people/organizations with whom you would not have otherwise meet on your own. Secondly, you will benefit from the questions and input of your fellow travelers and have the opportunity to discuss issues with people from various backgrounds and experiences. Finally, upon your return home, you will have a network of people with whom you have shared this unique experience.

Another advantage is that you will be sharing views and perspectives from diverse backgrounds.  Please be courteous to your fellow delegates, our country hosts, wait staff, and hotel staff. We must be sensitive to the social/power relations between economics status, men and women, white and non-white, and ageism not only among the people we meet, but among your fellow travelers as well.

Please remember that during this entire trip, you are a representative of BRWCL. Whether you are taking part in a planned activity or on your own free time, your words and actions will reflect on the group. Please remember that we are guests of the country; it is best to approach each new situation with an open mind.
