On our train journey through Europe, we travel across eight countries.
We visit some of Europe’s most beautiful cities, but as we head further east, we also witness poverty and the need for help. In Bulgaria, we partner with the aid organization MUG, where we take part in food distribution and learn about how social work is done in practice. You’ll experience the joy of helping others — and gain a new perspective on your own life.
The goal of the trip is also to build a strong class community. Along the way, you’ll experience the incredible diversity of Europe and test your independence and travel skills.
