“Beyond the Map: Discovering Our Place in the Universe” is an inquiry-driven experiential learning programme designed for all PYP students, usingtargazing and astronomy as meaningful contexts to explore identity, values, empathy, and responsible choices.
Through pre-tour curiosity-building activities, guided telescope-based night-sky observation, collaborative challenges, eco-awareness experiences, and structured reflection, students examine how humans explore the universe and how this exploration influences who we are, what we value, and how we act within a community.
The programme supports learners in understanding that curiosity, courage, care, and respect are essential values when encountering the unknown. By working together, reflecting on emotions, making ethical choices during group activities, and engaging in responsibility-driven actions toward nature, students develop self-awareness, empathy, and a sense of global responsibility.
The programme is fully designed and facilitated by Crazy Holidays and its expert resource team, ensuring high-quality experiential delivery with no academic instruction required from school teachers, while remaining strongly aligned to IB PYP philosophy. Learning is structured across Pre-Tour, On-Tour, and Post-Tour engagements, enabling students to connect inquiry with experience and reflection with meaningful action.
Students develop Thinking, Social, Communication, Self-Management, and Research skills as they observe the night sky, ask questions, record observations, collaborate in group challenges, reflect on emotions and values, and make connections between personal identity, ethical choices, and responsibility toward the Earth.
Students understand how identity is shaped by curiosity, beliefs, experiences, and values; explore how humans observe and make sense of the universe; practise ethical decision-making during collaborative activities; develop empathy and respect for others; recognise responsibility toward the environment; and reflect on how choices impact individuals and communities.
Students identify personal strengths and values; demonstrate empathy, cooperation, and respect; describe how humans explore the universe using tools and observation; make fair and responsible choices in group settings; connect values to actions; participate meaningfully in reflection; and apply ethical thinking in everyday school and community contexts.
