Recently, a group of LVS Ascot students embarked on an unforgettable journey to Colombia for the Round Square International Conference. This week-long experience immersed students in a vibrant mix of culture, adventure, and service, where they engaged with peers from across the globe and embraced Round Square’s IDEALS of internationalism, democracy, environment, adventure, leadership, and service.

Our students participated in activities unique to Colombia, such as learning to make traditional arepas, dancing to Carranga music, and exploring local craft techniques. They ventured into the lush landscapes of the Iguaque National Park, where they took part in a meaningful reforestation project and tackled trails guided by maps and compasses. A highlight for many was building chicken sheds using Bahareque, a traditional construction technique. Through these experiences, our students not only connected with the land and local communities but also gained invaluable skills in teamwork, resilience, and cross-cultural understanding.
This trip encapsulated LVS Ascot’s commitment to fostering character development and global citizenship. It’s exciting to think of the lifelong memories and friendships our students have brought back and how this experience will shape their future as empathetic leaders and global citizens.
