Our commitment to the local culture and environmental sustainability

In light of our pledge to sustainability and our initiatives to reduce our environmental footprint, we encourage everyone to consider alternatives when planning a study abroad program.

Whether it’s staying outside of a major city or utilizing climate conscious lodging, every little step counts to promote sustainable practices, preserve European’s great cities and cultures, while keeping program expenses in check.

Join us in this effort to make eco-friendly choices.

Together, we can make a difference!

Home Home
Accomodation

By exploring nearby housing options instead of staying in major European cities, we can minimize our impact on overtourism. Ask us about the "second city" strategy.

Suitcase Suitcase
Pack light

Every extra kilogram on a plane, train, or bus increases energy consumption. A "carry-on only" rule is a win for both the planet and your back.

Users Users
Cultural Behaviour

Learn the "Golden Three": Learning "Hello," "Please," and "Thank you" in the local language is more than a courtesy; it signals respect for the local identity and immediately changes the dynamic of your interactions.

Travel routes

By basing a program in one location and building in day excursions, we can minimize the environmental impact.

Basket Basket
Eat "KM 0"

Look for restaurants with the "Kilometro Zero" label (common in Italy and Spain), which guarantees ingredients are sourced locally.

Droplet Droplet
Water

Refill Stations: Europe has some of the cleanest tap water in the world. Use apps like Refill to find public fountains and avoid buying plastic bottles.

Leaf Leaf
Climate Action

We offset all operational and program carbon footprints while planting native trees for every participants on a CEPA study abroad program.

Calendar Calendar
Travel in the "Shoulder" Season

Visiting in March or October helps distribute income to locals year-round and prevents the "ghost town" effect that happens in tourist hubs during winter.
