We operate worldwide and offer intellectual travel experiences. The results you gain from the trip depend equally on us and on you: upon returning home from any of our proposed journeys, you become more competent only if you are ready to:
-
See in others not only what distinguishes us, but also what unites us;
-
View events, people, and actions not from your own perspective, but from the standpoint of a different culture;
-
Change your assessments (self-assessments) as a result of understanding a foreign culture, and abandon stereotypes;
-
Interpret foreign values;
-
Look at the familiar in a new way, discover something new in what is already known;
-
Empathize with representatives of another culture and understand their feelings;
-
Rejoice in new knowledge about a foreign culture;
-
Use knowledge of a foreign culture to gain a deeper understanding of your own;
-
Recognize the etymological connection between a cultural fact and the word that denotes it, and more.
To create the conditions described above, we provide an experienced educator from the Lingva International Educational Center, who is proficient in a methodology that can take into account and ensure all necessary conditions, thereby preparing you for intercultural dialogue. Preparation begins before the trip, and this is one of the key conditions for success, as it allows you to: “know,” “feel,” and “be ready” (E.I. Passov, Method of Dialogue of Cultures, Lipetsk, 2011, p. 65).
