The 6-day Wayanad CAS journey is a transformative blend of creativity, activity, and service — set amidst Kerala’s rich tribal, ecological, and cultural landscape. Students explore sustainability through bamboo innovation, engage in tribal community projects, and reflect through mindfulness and art. Adventure challenges, service learning, and cross-cultural experiences nurture empathy, resilience, and global citizenship. Designed to align with IB CAS goals, this journey helps students experience deeply, empathize genuinely, and empower meaningfully — beyond the classroom.
