Through The Odyssey website, your students can follow along with a Team of educators doing a real two-year trek around the world. Your students will join the Team for six weeks in each of 11 major non-Western countries to learn about diverse cultures, critical global issues, and ways that they can help create positive change in the world. In each site the Team follows a specific itinerary of site visits, events, and meetings with people that shed light on topics of historical and general cultural importance. The Team Members document these experiences in video, audio, photos and text.
Students can also interact with the team, the people they meet, and each other.
All of this is available free on The Odyssey website. Our six week Pilot Trek to Mexico was successfully completed in the Fall of 1998, and is available for use in its archived form. The World Trek is being conducted in four stages. The Latin America and Africa Stages have been completed and are available for use anytime in its archived form. The Team is currently in the Middle East Stage.
