Ready for an adventure? Challenges Abroad is a social enterprise with a mission that’s all about shaping the next generation of Global Citizens - future leaders who will help build a brighter, better future for everyone. Their programmes are designed to help you gain new skills, expand your global awareness, and contribute to meaningful causes, all while making lifelong friendships and unforgettable memories.

Become a Global Citizen in India as you immerse yourself in the local culture of Dharamshala, inspiring children to love learning and creativity, and to speak English so they can get better jobs and prosper. Your work will  contribute far beyond these four weeks, because being able to speak English is a game-changer for children here – it means unlike 45% of the country’s poor and illiterate, they can get good jobs and enjoy a bright future.
