MindVISA
Learn in Leisure, across Borders

France - Netherlands - Spain

France-Netharlands-Spain





MindVISA uses a combination of carefully-chosen international travel and specialized pedagogy to help young minds know themselves more. (MindVISA is a travel-based education provider, and not a travel agency. Please read the About us and our Approach sections of this website).
 

Why France, Netherlands and Spain?

You may have heard about Napoleon; what about Van Gogh, Anne Frank and Antoni Gaudi? You may have heard about Eiffel tower; but how about Arc de Triumph, Dam Square and Park Gurel? Amidst trips to some known and unknown places in Paris, Barcelona and Amsterdam, we will learn about people who indelibly influenced history, and discover works of world-renowned artists who continue to inspire young minds around the world.

During this trip, we will see some of the magnificent churches of the west – such as Notre Dame, Sacree Couer, Sagrada Familia, and visit awe-inspiring museums of Europe, such as Louvre, Pompidue and Dali museums. This program offers an exciting combination of history, arts and architecture. Our three-country program will awaken the explorer and creator in you. We have mixed these explorations with MindVISA’s experiential learning program; to enable young Indian minds learn about themselves and develop critical leadership abilities.
