Project Summary
Bon was asked by a federal government entity to develop an experiential program that teaches university students important leadership skills through an unforgettable global expedition.
Bon partnered with Outward Bound to co-develop an outdoor leadership training program for youth from the GCC.
Participants learned ocean survival skills, tackled obstacle courses, climbed mountains and planned expeditions. Along the way they were challenged by a variety of physical, communication, leadership and organizational challenges that stretched their capabilities and helped to develop resilience in the face of adversity.
A cultural exploration program was also attached to this project.
