Educo International
Educo International seeks to foster the development of youth and promote the multi-cultural connections within and between each school.
In 1988, the second Educo school was started in the United States in Colorado, and now there are Educo organizations in South Africa, Bulgaria, Brazil, and Germany. As an international organization, Educo is able to offer a broader range of experiential outdoor programs to people from all parts of the globe.
It is a unique opportunity to share resources, exchange ideas and inspiration, provide cross-cultural experiences for both staff and students, and remain connected in the face of so much global change.
Though the country and culture may differ, the fundamental philosophy and the magic that happens on each course is the same!
