   On all discovery learning events (journeys) we also focus on transformative-type learning - Experience shows when we discover a community, culture, lifestyle, set of priorities and value system so different from our own, we discover our own communities, lifestyle, value system, priorities etc. and at times we challenge them as well, on these journeys
