a change in pace to deckchair-dominated holidays,
learning getaways are our new favourite way to explore the world.
While vacation tutelage may sound more like a gap-year seminar than
a relaxing break, these carefully curated experiences help you to
delve deeper into both local culture and yourself, upping your
productivity while you’re away and when you’re back on home turf
again. From flower arranging to emotional development, we’ve
cherry-picked six of the best global learning experiences out
there.

Enrol in Emotional Intelligence 101 at The School of Life Conference
The School of Life Conference in San
Francisco is a three-day event taking place in March, designed
to equip participants with “a toolkit of emotional skills.”
Claiming to “revolutionise relationships, careers and
self-understanding,” San Fran’s symbiotic association with the
conference’s core attributes – optimism and energy about the future
– seem to match up. Interactive lectures and psychological
exercises are led by The School of Life founder Alain de Botton and
talks are peppered with video excerpts and group work to keep you
engaged and mentally active. Topics covered include emotional
education, relationships, work and culture.
