Where inspiration and impact meet

About Us

For more than 25 years, through the GVI Group, we have transformed the perspectives and enhanced the capabilities of thousands of future leaders and changemakers. Now, we’re using our expertise to forge a new path with World of Difference group expeditions. 

World of Difference expeditions are intentionally designed to empower, upskill, inspire and equip young people to excel in an ever-changing world. Our impact-driven programs include carefully curated itineraries, providing immersive cultural and adventure experiences in unique locations around the world. 

Trek through lush jungles, explore vibrant cities, create meaningful connections and encounter remarkable wildlife while contributing to ethical conservation and community development projects. This is your chance to become a force for good.

It’s a new world

The world is constantly changing, and at World of Difference, we know you can either roll with the times or rise above the challenges and forge your own path. 

 

With this in mind, we’ve created a safe and exciting space where young people thrive! Our expeditions equip the new generation with the relevant skills needed to lead, innovate and stand out from the crowd. 

 

This allows changemakers to make a tangible difference in conservation and community development initiatives across the world.

More than just good intentions

With more than 20 years of experience in 40+ countries, World of Difference has established itself as a leader in purpose-driven group expeditions. 

 

Our conservation and community development initiatives are led by local organisations on the ground, ensuring ethical practices that result in sustainable projects with measurable impact.
