Description
We are a small educational project, soon , education activity canter based in Luxor Egypt.
We provide hands-on learning sessions in a supervised environment on a family farm on the West Bank of Luxor for children of travelling families aged 4-15 years.
Our aim is to provide a play space and immersive hands on learning experience for local and international children. A chance to immerse together into the local community and provide eco and life skills related projects on an all outdoor site.
We host families from all over the world for 4-week sessions and children attend our supervised hub sessions, every morning 4-5 days a week.
I, Louise Sullivan am the founder of this project and have worked with children in alternative learning projects for nearly 10 years.
This project was birthed when we moved, myself and my 2 unschooled children to Luxor. We wanted to create a transient community for our children to make friends and bring families together to enjoy all the beauty of Egypt.
Since 2021 we have hosted over 100+ families in Luxor and provide a rich family orientated experience, which also included day trips, organised tours, educational field trips and more.
Our farm site is based in one of the West Bank villages of Luxor in a farming community. We have an all outdoor set up, with rescue animals and space for learners from 3-15 years.
