"No matter how much you learn about the world through books and documentaries, you learn the most by experiencing it yourself."

Travel guide Fairaway

Short experience trips
"The goal of our educational projects and trips is to let youngsters look beyond their borders in a playful manner, and let them explore the world."

Organisation
Fairaway is a part of foundation Cross Your Borders. We have been organising multi-day, interactive teaching projects about themes surrounding poverty and injustice in the world for over 15 years at schools for lower vocational education, higher general secondary education and pre-university education throughout the Netherlands and Flanders. About 250 schools and 40.000 pupils participate in these projects on a yearly basis. Since 2015 we have also been organising short experience trips under the name Fairaway. In the meantime, we have organised over 20 trips to Tanzania & Kenya, Surinam, Nepal and Ghana.
Our team exists of 15 young professionals, supplemented by a group of interns from intermediate and higher vocational education, as well as academic education. The travel guides are well educated young people between 22 and 33 years old (see below). They have vast experience travelling to distant countries and guiding groups of youngsters.
