Schools Trips and Youth Expeditions: Time for a United Front?

Allison, Pete

Horizons, n16 p15-17 Win 2001

The death of a 17-year-old British girl on a youth expedition to Vietnam prompts questions about the ethics and role of expedition education and about accreditation and regulation of the adventure field. Should the agenda be controlled by a central corporation, government, or the field itself? Those in the field should present a united front on this issue. (TD)
