Leisure, Travel & Tourism - New York, New York, United States
Kaleidoscope is a study abroad company that teaches students to think about many different perspectives. We travel with students to areas where there is some kind of tension or conflict (social, environmental, political, economic) and have students interact with people from many different statuses, sectors of society, and viewpoints related to the conflict. The goal is for the students to leave with a more expansive idea of the conflict and the people in it. In the longer term, this will shape the way students make decisions in their voting and discussions related to other countries and areas of conflict. MissionThere are many different perspectives that make our world colorful. Understanding and respecting them bring peace. Through intentional travel, we teach young minds to achieve this and break through the chains of oversimplified politics, education, religion, and media.VisionTo be a leader in inspiring highly thoughtful discussions, voting, and approaches to conflict and social issues.
