Ever wondered how a single river can shape human history, or how traditions, languages, festivals, and food can preserve the story of a people? These are the questions that guide our work at CheckWorld. Our expeditions are not vacations, they are purposeful, transformational learning journeys that follow the paths civilizations have walked for centuries.
Each expedition takes young people into living histories and diverse cultures, examining how landscapes influence identity, how communities safeguard heritage, and how human stories connect across borders. Participants explore how cultures evolve, how traditions endure, and how the world’s wonders reveal the shared fabric of humanity. They return not only with meaningful memories, but with broader perspectives, discerning minds, and a deeper understanding of the world they inhabit.
Below, you will find the preview of an incoming CheckWorld expedition. Every listed destination reflects our commitment to cultivating global citizens: young people equipped with cultural literacy, global awareness, and the ability to engage thoughtfully with societies and civilizations beyond their own. These previews may appear before a travel date is finalized, but they always offer a clear sense of the destination, the cultural and educational themes, and the planned activities designed to deepen real-world understanding.
Participation and Eligibility
Because of the structured nature of our programs, participation in any CheckWorld expedition is strictly by invitation. Invitations are issued through an Expedition Permit, sent exclusively to a school, a kids’ club, and accredited youth organization. Once this invitation is accepted and the participation fee stated on the permit is completed, approved participants receive a Quest Credential. This credential formally places them in the traveling group for the upcoming expedition.
Each expedition listed here represents an opportunity for young people to encounter the world through its wonders, cultures, and civilizations, expanding their worldview one meaningful journey at a time.
Expeditions often run concurrently in different regions, independent of where our offices are located. Invitees can review the program details specified on their Expedition Permit and follow the instructions provided to confirm participation in that specific expedition.
