With World Challenge ceasing operations in Australia, many teachers and parent communities are now navigating uncertainty around their planned 2026–2028 expeditions.
As a leader in experiential travel, Projects Abroad understands how important these experiences are for your students.

Aligned itineraries for your expeditions
Whether you want to keep your original destination or explore something new, we can provide itineraries aligned with common World Challenge routes.
