Inspiring Stories to
Move the Planet Forward
Experiential Learning
At Planet Forward, the world is our classroom.
Our storytelling expeditions allow students to immerse themselves in a story. They travel to experience, learn about, and chronicle innovations in science, sustainability, and related technologies.

Food Security Focus
Planet Forward and partner FAO of North America have sent four students to the Committee on World Food Security Conference in Rome in both 2018 and 2019. A Zero Hunter Future and Serving Up Solutions were the result of these storytelling trips.

“All stories begin with an experience, and so to have the opportunity to come to the Galapagos it has not only inspired me but motivated me to look a little bit deeper and find the answers beyond what I simply see.”

“Planet Forward has taught me that it's easy to talk about problems — but the most impactful story also helps empower an audience to take action toward a solution.”
PETER JURICH

"I spent the last two years of my life pursuing a Master’s degree in science communication with a focus on environmental science. But none of my studies — either theoretical or practical — could have instilled in me the conservation values and experiences that I’ve gained."
