"People ask about the program and I try to explain it, yet words always fall short of describing the experiences and the development that I have undergone across the two years. For one week, each year I have been taken out of my natural environment, socialized with some of the most interesting and inspiring people of a similar age in the world, all in a fantastically organized week where I learnt more than many classes will teach in a lifetime"
Michael F. - Class of 2003, Melbourne, Australia
