This equips each attendee with a mental survival kit. It uses confidence building exercises, practical workshops and advice:

Preparation
This is the key to successful and safe travel. Knowing the planned travel destinations of those attending (you'll have filled in a questionnaire first); the workshops will cater for the specific needs of those attending. There's no use teaching you winter survival skills if you're all going to the tropics.
Planning
Each attendee will be given one-on-one advice sessions on their journey plus an in-depth exploration of what resources are available and where to find them.
Travelling
Practical group exercises and scenarios that will prepare you for the some of the annoyances, cons, scams and dangers of travel. And give you a few laughs as well.
In-Country
Sessions that explore cultural differences and help eliminate the insensitivities that can so often lead to unforeseen problems. A lot of fun, including bartering and haggling.
How to enjoy yourself
So often people discover the best of a country just as they are about to leave.
Where to sleep
Advice on resting in comfort and safety.
Bus, boot or rail
Sensible advice on comfort and precautions. Include confidence building exercises in navigation, lateral thinking, travel techniques and teamwork.
Health and Safety
Practical exercises in first aid, inoculations, medicines, fire, natural disasters and, though you would never be so foolish, civil unrest and war zones.
