Designed by a teacher with 15 years of classroom experience, now homeschooling her own kids.

What they are actually learning.

Your child interviews someone with a story worth recording and turns it into a coherent narrative. Talking to a person they do not know takes nerve. Really hearing the answer takes more. Then it has to be organised into something that reads properly.

  • Communication: Asking clear questions and expressing their own ideas clearly
  • Listening: Actually hearing what is said, not just collecting quotes
  • Empathy: Seeing the world through the eyes of the person in front of them
  • Confidence: Getting past the shyness of approaching someone new
  • Cultural Awareness: Understanding perspectives and ways of living unlike their own
Why it matters

Travel can be a vacation or it can be a curriculum. The difference is whether you ask the right questions. These activities turn any trip into something they will carry into adulthood.
