2027 Study Tours

Our study tours bring together people from diverse backgrounds to learn, connect and build meaningful relationships. More than simply visiting historic sites, these tours provide opportunities to meet local people, engage with community organisations and explore how history, culture, faith and tradition continue to shape societies today.

In 2027, we will be offering three study tours – Spain in April, Japan in June and Brazil in September, each providing a unique opportunity to explore history, culture and contemporary society while connecting with local communities.
