It’s not just an amazing experience in another country (70 destinations) with rewarding community projects, but a whole developmental journey that starts long before students step on a plane. Never has a World Challenge been more relevant and important to students, with increasing financial pressures on students, it’s vital that they ‘Learn to Earn’ as they develop.

Jagged Globe
Jagged Globe is a leading provider of climbing, trekking and skiing adventures. The company’s roots go back to 1988, when founder, Steve Bell, organised an expedition to Stok Kangri, a 6,000m peak in Northern Ladakh, India. The company was called ‘Himalayan Kingdoms’ then, and later Steve took its mountaineering arm – ‘Himalayan Kingdoms Expeditions - to Sheffield, after the first successful ‘commercially organised’ expedition to Everest, in 1993. The name ‘Jagged Globe’ was launched in 1998 to reflect the increasingly global coverage of the company’s mountaineering trips. Since then, Jagged Globe has continued to be the UK’s market leader organising high quality mountaineering expeditions and courses, as well as offering an increasingly diverse selection of treks and ski trips. The name ‘Jagged Globe’ is synonymous with quality, responsibility and professionalism in the mountain adventure business.

The Juniper Trust’s tenet is: to work in a low-impact, sustainable way to support the poorest communities, particularly children, listening to community needs in the developing world and working in equal partnership. The Trust’s concept is 'trickle up' rather than 'trickle down' aid, which will benefit communities at grassroots level, enabling their development in a way which they feel is appropriate. For several years, this work has been greatly assisted by Cotswold Outdoor's very generous donation of a percentage of KE Adventure Travel client sales to the Juniper Trust. This has helped projects such as the Lingshed Hostel in Ladakh, the Ardasha Bal Vikas Kendra School For Handicapped Children in Nepal, the Tibet Vision Project and the Solar Lights Project, both in Peru and India.

BSES (British Schools Exploring Society)
Based at the Royal Geographical Society, BSES Expeditions (The British Schools Exploring Society) was founded in 1932 by a member of Captain Scott’s final Antarctic Expedition of 1910-13. Each year young people aged 16-23, from different schools, universities and many other walks of life, join together to take part in valuable adventure and environmental research projects in challenging areas of the world from the heights of the Himalayas to the heat of the Arabian desert, and from the valleys and glaciers of the Arctic to the lakes and rivers of the Amazon. These projects are designed to teach the young people about the host environment, culture and wildlife whilst delivering worthwhile and necessary results for local and UK academic and charitable bodies. Led by experts drawn from a host of professions such as universities, teaching and the armed forces, all the expeditions aim to help in the development of young people through the challenge of living and working in remote and testing areas of the world. BSES Expeditions is a small and personal organisation organising only a handful of expeditions each year. Opportunities exist on month-long summer expeditions for Young Explorers aged between 16 and 20. Those over 18 can gain leadership experience through our Arctic and Desert gap year expeditions.
