Students in the Tashkent International School Adventure Program recently returned from Tanzania, where our school’s purpose, “Challenging Ourselves, Exploring Boundaries, Making Connections, to Create a Positive Difference” was their daily reality.
🌊 Earned their scuba diving certifications and immediately put their skills to work on coral reef restoration by cleaning artificial coral beds and constructing new growth structures
🌿 Studied coastal mangrove ecology firsthand, understanding these critical ecosystems’ role in our planet’s future
🦁 Identified mammals and birds in Mkomozi National Park, connecting classroom learning to real-world conservation
🤝 Bridged continents at United World College of Moshi, where the students exchanged Uzbek and Tanzanian cultures and perspectives
The trip further strengthened my belief in the power of experiential learning. The students didn’t just learn about global challenges, they actively contributed to solving them. With more of students’ lives moving to the digital world and who knows how much artificial intelligence will be doing for us in the upcoming years, immersive experiences like these are becoming more important than ever for student growth. The students overcame their fear to learn a new skill and learned they have the capacity to make a difference.
