The Foundation for Experiential Learning exists to create life changing educational programs through hands-on learning with local communities.
Our primary work is supporting our own Institute, the International Sustainable Development Studies Institute, which runs experiential study abroad programs in Thailand for American college students and others.
Educational programs through our institute, ISDSI, support local communities through three core activities: supporting local instructors, meaningful engagement with the real world, and experiential learning.
To learn more about how you can be involved or apply to one of our programs, please visit our institute at ISDSI.ORG.
Local Instructors
The core of our work is empowering local villagers to become teachers, so they can educate outsiders about their culture and ecology.
Engagement
Participants on our programs are engaged in meaningful ways with the natural world, learning about ecology, conservation, and sustainability.
Experiential Learning
Our programs focus on learning by doing, in real communities engaged in the struggle to create a more sustainable future.
