PANAMA GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP PROGRAM

BECOME A GLOBAL CITIZEN IN PANAMA

Panama is a country where the modern collides seamlessly with the ancient, and natural wonders await at every turn. Nestled between the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, Panama boasts a rich cultural heritage and diverse ecosystems. If you’re seeking sustainable travel, adventure, and cultural immersion, Panama should be at the top of your travel bucket list. From the cosmopolitan charms of Panama City to the pristine beauty of its natural landscapes, this Central American gem promises an unforgettable experience.

On this program you will spend two weeks with a team of Cambrian College global changemakers, working on a variety of projects aimed at improving education quality in El Valle de Anton. They say you learn most when pushed outside of your comfort zone…

This isn’t just travel — it’s an experience that challenges you to think differently, grow personally, and make a lasting impact.

Flights

Once you’re registered for this Challenge, you will receive a Welcome Pack which will include guidance on arrival and departure times to help when booking your flights. 

Canadian passport holders do not need a visa for travelling to Panama – please let us know if you’ll be travelling on a different passport, and we can provide you with some more information on the visa application.

We recommend booking an appointment with your doctor so that they can review your vaccination history and make appropriate recommendations for what you might need when travelling to Panama.

We require all participants to have fully comprehensive travel insurance when travelling on our programs.

As accommodation, transport and food during the week are provided during your Challenge, you will only need personal spending money for any additional adventures in your free time, meals at the weekend, and for any souvenir shopping you might want to do!

“The experience was the most life-changing 17 days of my life. Meeting new people and being immersed in the culture was such an amazing highlight. It’s hard to put into words how this experience has changed me, but I am so grateful. I will 100% go back – Panama has a massive place in my heart now.”
