Homesickness on student tours...
Our Global Business Development Manager, Shannan Carter, knows a thing or two about student tours. She's organised tours for thousands of students all over the world and has presented at pre-trip student/parent meetings more times than she cares to remember!
As a SYTA Past President, she was asked to write an article last month for the SYTA website about the impact of travel on students.
She decided to write about a little-discussed issue - that of homesickness for the students on the trip, and how parents at home can help with this.
You can access the article here. We hope it helps in your discussions with schools and educators and gives some food for thought.
