Hear From Our Guardians

"The experience helped me find comfort in the uncomfortable, and it truly took me out of my routine. I feel more attuned to the environment and more committed than ever to conservation.”

— Student, Kent Place
“I've always loved nature and biology, but this trip fanned the flame and made me fall in love with marine biology and Galápagos; now I know I want to dedicate my life to this.”
— Student, Monte Tabor
“This experience allowed me to think more about how research, education, and conservation are connected.”
— Student, DragonFly
“I have been disconnected from ecology since finishing my PhD 10 years ago. This trip has renewed my passion in a way that will stay with me for life.”
— Educator, University West Florida
“I work at a small school in Kazakhstan hired by a large oil company. As a science teacher, I often feel hopeless about conservation efforts and reducing the carbon footprint. This experience has allowed me to regain hope and energy to encourage my students to follow a different path.”

Escenarios vivenciales de aprendizaje

Galapagos provides a unique environment for learning outside of the classroom. EVAs (by its acronym in Spanish) provide multiple opportunities to make learning more relevant and lasting with the power of experience. This can be achieved by exposing students to new environments, or by interacting with experts or people in the community who can offer new learning. We designed EVAs as a support resource for teachers.
