culture and environment

expertise
• a valuable addition to your CV, making you
stand out from the crowd
• enhancing your work experience
• returning home with unforgettable memories
“During my time in Zambia, the vast array of sporting,
cultural, lifestyle and personal experiences I was a part
of, were something of a revolution to me, changing the
dynamics of the way I view the world and interact with
it around me,”
Jordan Kenny BA Coach Education & Sports Development student,
