At The African Travelling Teacher (TATT), education tourism is not about visiting schools.
It is a place-based learning approach that turns communities into classrooms and real-world challenges into curriculum. Our education tourism model serves both local and international learners:
For local and national learners, it brings the Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) to life through hands-on, community-rooted learning.
For international learners, it enables ethical global citizenship learning grounded in real relationships, humility, and co-creation.
Education tourism is how learning travels in TATT and how relevance, dignity, and connection are restored to education.
Education Tourism for Local & National Learners
Making the Competence-Based Curriculum Real
For many learners, the CBC can feel abstract when confined to classrooms and textbooks. TATT education tourism transforms CBC into lived experience.
Through guided learning journeys, local learners:
Learn from their own communities farms, markets, cultural sites, ecosystems
Engage in project-based learning tied to real local challenges
Work collaboratively to research, create, present, and reflect
Build learning portfolios that demonstrate real competencies, not rote recall
Competencies Developed
Critical thinking & problem solving
Creativity & innovation
Communication & collaboration
Citizenship & ethical responsibility
Environmental awareness & sustainability
Digital literacy (using offline-first tools)
Outcome: Learning becomes meaningful, assessable, and transferable beyond exams
Education Tourism for International Learners
Ethical Global Citizenship in Practice
For international schools, universities, and educators, TATT offers immersive learning with African classrooms, not learning about them.
Participants:
Learn alongside local learners and teachers
Engage in shared projects rooted in place
Reflect on culture, identity, inequality, and responsibility
Experience Africa through education, not extraction
This is global citizenship education grounded in reality, not tourism.
