// Interaction with the local community
The majority of Adventureworks group have contact with the local community be it a day in a school or orphanage, playing football against the local team or simply talking to people as they trek through a remote mountain village.
Through these experiences, teams have a chance to experience the true nature of the country they are visiting.

Adventureworks are involved in several long term projects, with groups returning year after year. The below are some examples of our long term relationships.
