Summary

The IBWISE Leadership Trip in Andalusia invites Pre-IB and Mid-IB students to live and learn in the truly charming “Pueblo Blanco” of Vejer de la Frontera in beautiful southern Spain. Students are immersed in the rich language, culture and history of Andalusia while staying with carefully hand-picked host families. Each morning features voluntary CAS placements with local organisations, followed by 2 hours of intensive Spanish at the La Janda Language School. Afternoons are filled with authentic cultural activities from flamenco and surfing to traditional cooking and kayaking.

The programme covers all three strands of CAS — Creativity, Activity and Service — in a fully experiential, real-world setting.
