Collaborative Travel Planning, experience of Green Travel in Germany and abroad. 

Impact Travel begins long before we start moving. It starts with how we plan, what we choose to see – and through which lens we look at the world.
That’s why we meet online before each journey to collaboratively design our travel route, prepare the workshops, and shape our shared experience through the green glasses perspective. An online-meeting-link will be sent to all participants in advance. During this interactive session, the organizing team presents a first draft of the itinerary — excursions, workshops, and local partner projects. But the real value lies in your contributions: Do you know the region? Have special interests or experiences? We invite your ideas, so the journey reflects our collective curiosity and creativity.

After the session, the final travel plan will be shared, including detailed information on locations, meeting points, daily schedules, and transportation options. Together, we’ll ensure that our travel choices are as green as possible – using sustainable transport, minimizing our footprint, and turning each kilometer into a meaningful part of the learning journey.

Each travel day offers around five hours of active learning. Mornings are dedicated to theory and reflection, while afternoons bring these ideas to life through hands-on activities, visits, and conversations with local changemakers. Traveling with green glasses means constantly comparing, reflecting, and asking:
👉 What can we learn from this place – and what could we bring back home? 

Example 1: Conducting Interviews 

• Morning: Input session on Impact Storytelling through Interviews – how to ask meaningful questions and capture authentic voices.

• Afternoon: Visit local sustainability projects in small groups and practice your interview skills in real-world settings.

• Evening: Reflection and group dialogue – highlights, challenges, and key takeaways. 

Example 2: Instagram for Impact 

• Morning: Input on Social Media as a Platform for Impact Storytelling – how to share messages that inspire change.

• Afternoon: Explore the area through the green lens – focusing on photos, short videos, and visual storytelling.

• Evening: Share your favorite shots, exchange feedback, and co-create an Instagram post that reflects our collective impact.

Every step of Impact Travel is designed to connect learning with lived experience.
It’s not only about reaching a destination – but about seeing differently, acting consciously, and telling stories that move others.
