Mission: To cultivate meaningful connections through immersive and responsible travel
Vision: To foster a more compassionate, just, and inclusive world

Dragons has been facilitating authentic and hands-on cultural immersion for over 25-years. We offer programs for students, educators, adults, and schools in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.  Small groups travel to remote communities with the best instructors in the industry to ensure personalized mentorship and meaningful community engagement. Each program is custom-crafted with a dynamic itinerary and a 4:1 participant-to-instructor ratio. Our goal is to help participants develop the self-awareness and cross-cultural competencies to be active participants in the world. 

WE ARE AN INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY 
Dragons is a global community representing 6 continents, over 30 countries, and countless languages, villages, NGOs, religions, host families, perspectives, and stories. We are united by a mission of nurturing empathy and understanding across borders through authentic cultural exchange. Dragons offers summer and semester programs in 19 countries, each one custom-crafted by instructor teams who bring their unique vision and expertise to the course design. Our goal is to help participants develop the self-awareness and cross-cultural competencies to be active participants in the world.

WE ARE BOLD EDUCATORS
Our staff speak in local dialects and bring deep cultural fluency and expert facilitation skills to our programs. When not guiding with Dragons, our instructors are graduate students, returned Peace Corps Volunteers, U.N. development professionals, veteran wilderness guides, and career teachers. We believe that future leaders will be required to think beyond borders in order to cultivate a more inclusive, collaborative, and just future. We are fueled by a mission to create positive change and pull off feats of educational acrobatics in remote cross-cultural settings because we love what we do.
