How can I practice self-awareness? What am I passionate about? How can I use that to help the world? In these courses, participants take part in a series of interactive and reflective workshops, build leadership skills and capacities, and put them to the test through team challenges and adventurous experiences. Self Awareness is cultivated through deep reflection activities with the chance to put learning into action and improve past performance. Growth is captured through the experiential cycle of Plan – Act – Reflect. The final stage of the course is future-oriented, allowing participants to design and commit to their own leadership goals.

If we want to do good in the world, first we must be willing to learn. So much of what is termed “service” may not be of help, or worse, may end up harming the very people we are aiming to serve. This programme takes a critical look at the failures of service, from individual volunteer projects to international aid, and offers a powerful new approach that puts learning at the heart of helping - “Learning Service”. Through a series of critical thinking activities, visits to successful NGOs and discussions with those that are most impacted by our desire to help, we will begin to see the need to separate intentions and impact. https://www.willowexperiences.com/custom-programmes daily 0.75 2025-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f2df134661116040a8a05f/1644434171779-4M4H7W3X6RZDL244KYRS/unsplash-image-JzE1dHEaAew.jpg Custom Programmes Our available programs have been curated intentionally and with purpose, to meet the needs of an international school audience.

Now, it is home to the last potter of Ladakh. As the centuries passed, opportunities for work changed and this once thriving custom is now solely in the hands of our friend Lamchung Tsepail and his son Rigzen Namgail who work tirelessly to keep this rich and important tradition alive. Through a series of hands-on workshops participants will learn about the history of pottery in Ladakh, how to make local clay, use a potter’s wheel and work with traditional tools to create their own art works.

Participants will interact with a nomadic community to learn more about their work and their unique perspective on indigenous knowledge. Students will learn the many steps that go into producing a textile. From the rearing of pashmina goats in the nomadic community, to the process of turning their wool into yarn and weaving that into a textile, participants will get the full picture. We will examine questions like: How does the “fast fashion” industry work? What are slow textiles? Why is this important?

The journey is both outwards and inwards. Learn about the physical features of the landscape, the unique natural environment, how people have adapted to and thrived in harsh physical conditions and how climate change is upsetting the fragile ecological balance and affecting the sustainability of the entire region.

Waste & Sustainability in Fragile Ecosystems When we eat our favourite chocolate and drop the wrapper in the dustbin, where exactly does it go? This question becomes even more important in fragile ecosystems like Ladakh’s. In this course students will explore the impact of climate change, “fast” tourism and unconsidered development on Ladakh. Through learning about the work of local organisations and their efforts to raise awareness about a variety of environmental issues, day trips to popular tourist spots as well as villages participants will learn more about Ladakh’s unique culture and how the popular “reduce, reuse and recycle” is an inherent part of Ladakhi culture. To aid their learning, students will go on clean-up drives and participate in other hands-on activities and experiences to better understand these complex issues.
