Travel helps young people grow

It’s a powerful lever that helps youth grow and reach their full potential. So we want to facilitate access to travel.

Why travel? Organizing your stay

why travel?

Travel encourages youth to think for themselves and inspires them to cut their own path and imagine new possibilities. Their experiences can completely change the trajectories of their lives.

Many essential life skills are developed in just one trip :

Adaptability

Getting out of one’s comfort zone to explore new places and discover different cultures.

Cooperation

Helping others and sharing moments with other young people.

Communication

Enriching encounters and friendships with people from all over the world.

Empathy

Having a better understanding of the world and the people in it.

Organization

Learning to find information and plan out a trip.

Self-confidence

Trying new activities to acquire life skills.

In collaboration with the Université du Québec à Montréal, we will conduct research among young people into the values and benefits developed through travel. This pioneering research project will be carried out as part of the educational programs offered by the Saintlo Foundation.
