13 days
Berlin, Lisbon, Ponta Delgada

Begin your journey to understanding The Impact of Water on Society at our inspiring leadership conference in Berlin.

From there, journey to Portugal to explore the role water plays in coastal communities. Visit a fishing village that’s known as a haven for sailing and surfing, then stare into the depths of Boca do Inferno, a chasm that was formed by the repeated pounding of the waves against the Atlantic cliffs. Finally, make your way to the beautiful Azores, an archipelago composed of nine volcanic islands, where you’ll enjoy a waterfall hike, go whale-watching, and analyze water samples. Finally, learn how geothermal energy is harnessed from hot springs before returning home ready to take action in your own community.
