WOW I

SUMMER CAMP PRESENTATION

PRESENTATION:

World of Wanderlust returns in 2027 for another extraordinary adventure across Europe. A journey designed for those who want to go further, discover new places, explore different cultures and enjoy experiences that will last a lifetime.

Over 17 days, we will travel across Europe on a route full of contrasts, visiting Barcelona, Chamonix, Cinque Terre, Florence, Rome, Salzburg, Munich, Paris and Auzoa, combining some of Europe's most incredible cities and landscapes with three spectacular theme parks: PortAventura, Parc Astérix and Disneyland Paris.

From the Mediterranean to the Alps, from the streets of Barcelona to the history of Rome, from the breathtaking landscapes of Cinque Terre to the grandeur of Paris, every stop will bring a new discovery. A journey where culture, history, adventure, fun and friendship come together every single day.

WOW27 is another chapter in our "Conquest of Europe". But no two stories are ever the same. The cities change, the challenges evolve, the groups are different, and so are the moments and the people we meet along the way. That is what makes every edition unique and every summer an unrepeatable experience.

The project aims to bring participants closer to European cities, their cultures, history, art and ways of life, while encouraging independence, responsibility, team spirit and a genuine sense of European identity.

At Pranima's international camps, we don't explore cities like traditional tourists. We live the city.

Each destination is discovered through games, challenges, puzzles and missions that guide participants to the most iconic landmarks, as well as the hidden gems and little secrets of each city. Along the way, participants develop social skills, independence, teamwork and language abilities through interaction with local communities.

Intense days, thousands of kilometres, new cities, new cultures, new friends and stories that will continue to be told long after we return home.

All of this is built upon the three pillars that guide every Pranima programme: Activities, Planning and Safety.

In 2027, the adventure begins again.
